An 11th-century account of the theft of St Herefrith's relics from Louth in c. 973 by Æthelwold of Winchester; St Herefrith was probably the last 9th-century Anglo-Saxon Bishop of Lindsey, d. c. 870.pic.twitter.com/vtyBEc03vU
Thorney Monastery is that Thorney nr Peterborough?
Yes, that's where our stolen relics were deposited... :)
I can drive over and pick them up for you 
Sadly, they seem to be misplaced .... no longer at our Abbey! @ThorneySoc
A likely tale.... ;) :) Alas, Louth hung on to his comb but then manage to lose that too sometime around 1500 :-(
