This index is intended to identify all the wells dedicated to specific saints across the northern counties of Wales. In cases where im have visited the well the location name forms a link to my post. Wells not yet visited are here for reference. This list is not exhaustive, I will update it regularly as i find new information. Inclusion in the list does not mean that the well physically exists now, many have disappeared over time, the index lists those recorded in various reference sources as having at some time existed.

Beuno
Beuno is perhaps one of the best known of the North Welsh saints, being Winefride’s uncle, and closely linked with the dramatic story of her restoration to life at Holywell.

Mair (St Mary)
Ffynnon Fair, St Mary’s Well, is sometimes regarded as a default name for a Holy well. The name is often given to a well with a reputation for healing when not dedicated to a particular local saint. It has been said that whenever there was a Ffynnon Fair in a parish then water would be taken from that well for use in baptism, although other saints wells were also regularly used for this purpose.
