Saint Winifred however, is a whole different jar of wax. Let's put it this way, there's a reason her suitor Caradog cut off Winifred's head when she basically told him she'd rather enter a nunnery than have anything to do with him. Certainly boys of all ages react often very poorly to rejection but the extreme reaction of chopping off someone's head has hinted to many that Winifred was more winsome than shall we say sturdy. Some images of her do suggest elegance of the flowing robes kind. Already I can hear two arguments against this position. The first is a downright dismissal along the lines of they had no television in those days so how could you possibly know. The second concerns the issue of you're a boy so how can you even begin to know what it's like being a girl around boys. And this point of view would demand I visit a battered woman's shelter so I realize how idiotic I sound with this winsome nonsense. But the defining debating point could be this, I don't think I'm actually capable of making an elegant bridge that might do justice to a winsome Saint Winifred. Such a bridge would need graceful curves and perfectly carved stone, all of them joining to make a "that bridge looks like a flowing robe type bridge" statement. In the end I guess it's this sort of conundrum that resulted in the Ancient Egyptians settling on a pyramid.
