What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records St Ffraed's Well, Skenfrith as Holy Well from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

St Ffraed's Well is associated with St Ffraed, a 6th-century Welsh saint and sister of St Teilo, believed to have founded a nunnery in Llandaff. The well was traditionally visited for its healing properties, particularly for eye ailments, and is linked to early Christian pilgrimage practices in south-east Wales.
