Abstract:
A topographical study of the twenty-five percent of churches dedicated to St Helen which are concentrated within 50 miles of York. A similar concentration has also been identified for wells dedicated to the saint, but differences are observed in the respective distribution patterns of churches and wells. It is suggested that the dedications of Wells are derived from the Celtic goddess Elena. The dedications of churches, on the other hand, are thought to have referred to one of four Helens with British associations -- the most likely being the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. On the basis of Domesday records and architectural evidence it is further suggested that these dedications are very ancient and that they may reflect the extent of large landholdings of Roman origin.
