    3. from the Celtic Chonicles book. CELTIC. St Beuno was a Welshman, from Gwynedd, who was reputed to be able to effect remarkable cures, often using the water from the well at Clynnog. He settled on land on the Gwynedd coast at Clynnog-fawr given by King Cadwallon, and built a church near the sacred well, which become known as St Beuno's Well. It was a site of ritual sacrifice of cattle, and this practice continued until the 17th century. Another well dedicated to St Beuno is Fynnon Beuno, near Tremeirchion, near Prestatyn, Clwyd. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002
