Abstract:		 The remarkable late Perpendicular chapel at St Winefride’s Welll, Holywell, Flintshire, has justifiably been considered as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. This article looks in detail at the earlier history of buildings on this site and then at the design, plan and architectural ornament of the surviving chapel. The evidence of an awdl (praise poem) by the Welsh poet Sion ap Hywel, recent tree-ring dating of the Upper Chapel roof timbers, and a reconsideration of its architectural parallels, all indicate a date of construction in the period 1512–25, at least a decade later than previous thought. The new date range suggest that the patron of the chapel was Thomas Pennant, abbot of Basingwerk (c. 1481–1522), rather than Sir William Stanley (d. 1495), his elder brother, Thomas Stanley, earl of Derby (d. 1504), or Thomas’ wife Lady Margaret Beaufort (d. 1509), or a combination of all three.
