Asuming Saint Winifred (or Winefride) was a real, historical person, she was born around the year 600 in Holywell, Wales, although almost everything else believed about her is pure legend.
Saint Bridget was canonized by the Catholic Church in recognition of her piety, charity, and founding of the Bridgettine Order. She was known for her devotion to prayer, work for the poor, and for being a spiritual advisor to many, which led to her canonization.
Saint Winifred was a Welsh nun in the 7th century. She is considered to be both an early Christian martyr (and therefore automatically a Saint) and to have been miraculously brought back to life after being beheaded. The story of her death, resurrection and subsequent life can be found via the link below.
St Winifred's remains were "translated" (the religious term for relocated) to Shrewsbury Abbey in the 1130s, where a spectacular shrine was built and where pilgrims came for healing miracles. This part of her story features in the Brother Cadfael book "A Morbid Taste For Bones" by Ellis Peters.
Two years after her death ( August 11th, 1253 ) Pope Alexander IV canonized her ( 1255 ) . Hope this helps!
