Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: St Winifred's Church, Gwytherin. The church is believed to have originated in the mid 600's AD up by Prince Eleri who then went on to set up a double monastery in the village. He was the Abbot to the monks, and his cousin's daughter, St Gwenffrewi (Winifred) was the Abbess to the nuns. St Winifred had her head severed by an enraged chieftain after she spurned his advances. A spring arose where her head landed and she was later restored to life by her uncle St Beuno. Even today, pilgrims today visit the healing waters at Holywell in Flintshire. St Winifred died and was buried in the churchyard in November 660AD. Her bones were removed by Bendictine monks in the 11th century and taken to their abbey in Shrewsbury. Ellis Peters' first Cadfael book was set here. |
