medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
All more than welcome. I thought it a nice coincidence (or perhaps choice
of the ODNB's editors) that it appeared on St Erkenwald's day (Foliot was
enthroned 28 April).
The bishop of London I am working on (Richard Hill, 1489-96) left his soul
to St Erkenwald as well as the more usual Almighty Father, BVM and Sts Peter
and Paul. Clearly St E was still seen as something of a patron of the
bishops of London 800 years after his death. Thank you to you John for
providing access to the pages on Old St Paul's - unfortunately, it seems
Hill's tomb disappeared early - certainly not there by the time of Stow's
1603 edition.
Best,
Rosemary Hayes
