St Swithin

St Swithin was a 9th Century bishop in the Saxon kingdom of Wessex, whose feast day is on 15 July. Legend has it that he asked to be buried humbly outside Winchester Cathedral when he died but his remains were dug up in 971 and moved inside the building. The act was said to have coincided with 40 days and 40 nights of violent storms, indicating his displeasure at being moved. (Words from the excellent and incomparable BBC website). Canon EOS 40D
