Anglo-Saxon St Swithun
Was Bishop of
Winchester
From his consecration
Until his death.
A century later
Dunstan and Æthelwold
Adopted him as patron
Of the restored church
Of Winchester
His body was
transferred
From almost complete
obscurity
To Æthelwold's new
basilica
After which his
posthumous miracles occurred
The Winchester
egg-woman
And Queen Emma's
ordeal
Feast Day 15th July
