Holy-Well, a town of North Wales, in the county of Flint. It is a place of great note, for the well of St Winifried, who was reputed a virgin martyr; and it is much frequented by people that come to bathe in it, as well as by popish pilgrims out of devotion. The HOM oly-Well spring gushes forth with such impetuosity, that at a small distance it turns several mills. Over the spring is a chapel built upon pillars, and on the windows is painted the history of St Winnifred's life. There is a moss about the well, which some foolishly imagine to be St Winnifred's hair. W. Long. 3. 15. N. Lat. 54. 21.
