I second this! There is an entirely mysterious dedication to St.
Denys in Iceland, I'd LOVE to know how he got there. Anything
in Lincoln?

Dear listmembers,
Does anyone know anything about the/any cult of St Denys in
England? We have a St Denys Priory here in Southampton and there seem to be
a few churches dedicated to him round England. Have checked the usual
reference books, but they only seem to mention St Denys in France. I know he
was one of the Seven Helpers, but were there ever any local, English
traditions? Does he ever turn up anywhere else in Europe? I certainly don't
recall hearing about him in Sweden. I assume any English cult would ahve
been due to the French presence in England?
Thanks,
Lena Wahlgren-Smith
