Description
St Botolph – greatly venerated as the most influential missionary of the seventh century, founded a monastery in 654, appears to have led a peaceful life and died in 680. His feast is still venerated in the dioceses of Brentwood, Nottingham and Northampton on 17 June each year.The actual life of St Botolph is shrouded in mystery and conflict. It is my hope that this short (and inadequate) account of his life and times will give you a glimpse into England in the Seventh Century and more especially, into the life of Botolph, Man, Priest, Abbot and Saint.The fact that over seventy churches and five towns and villages are dedicated to St Botolph reflect his importance as one of the most important missionaries of the Seventh Century. He was a pioneer of the Benedictines Rule in England and many Kings and Prelates visited his monastery to listen to his preaching and teaching. There are varieties of posthumous honours awarded to his memory (and relics).
