Incidentally, this is the origin of the Lincolnshire saying 'do you come from Bardney?' if you leave the door open! http://aclerkofoxford.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/do-you-come-from-bardney.html …

There are presently 5 different St Oswald heads around Europe, 2 in Germany. St Oswald bits and pieces were very popular.
That many?! Goodness! Thanks :)
I had thought that Oswald's head was in St Cuthbert's coffin in Durham Cathedral! Was it moved when they opened Cuthbert's coffin?
There are apparently five claimants to the crown, so to speak!
Links with AEthelflaed too - Oswald gets about!
Brutus mató ; Penda ( de Mercia ) mató...
Quien estuvo en Bardney ?.
By the way I wake up 40 min. Ago.
@durhamcathedral would take issue with this as they claim Oswald's head was buried with body of Cuthbert! @Sadgrovem
It'd be tough to steal a sandwich out of that in the break room fridge....
Lived opposite St Oswalds priory remains in Gloster would be same person??
Is this Oswald connected to 'Havelok the Dane' somehow? I can vaguely remember a mention of a St. Oswald's arm being pinched by a pagan...
