					<description><![CDATA[St Winifred (or Winifride, Gwenfrewi, Guinevere, etc&#8230;) was born in Holywell, Flintshire in Wales some time around 600AD. She was the daughter of a Welsh nobleman, known with equal multiplicity as Thevit, Trevith or Tyfid ap Eiludd, and his wife Wenlo, a sister of St Beuno. Details of her life are inevitably vague after all [&#8230;]<div class='yarpp yarpp-related yarpp-related-rss yarpp-template-list'>

Living a life which came to a short and nasty end, however, the saint himself had little time for dancing, and that was left to his followers centuries later. Not a great deal is recorded about this early saint other than legend. He [&#8230;]<div class='yarpp yarpp-related yarpp-related-rss yarpp-template-list'>

					<description><![CDATA[Thomas Becket (the spurious &#8216;à&#8217; was added long after he died) was born in London on 21 December, probably in 1118. His parents were Normans (though one legend says his mother was a Muslim) and therefore among the upper classes of Britain at the time. His upbringing was appropriately comfortable, and he learned to ride [&#8230;]<div class='yarpp yarpp-related yarpp-related-rss yarpp-template-list'>

					<description><![CDATA[Less than half a per cent of the saints commonly recognised have names beginning with &#8216;Q&#8217;, and that&#8217;s generously allowing alternative spellings, and most of these are far from well known &#8211; so it&#8217;s not that easy to find much about them.
