An Ancient Manuscript of the Eighth Or Ninth Century: Formerly Belonging to St. Mary's Abbey, Or Nunnaminster, Winchester (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Ancient Manuscript of the Eighth or Ninth Century: Formerly Belonging to St. Mary's Abbey, or Nunnaminster, Winchester

From another passage3 in the same work we gather that some of the bones of Edburga were preserved with constant reverence in the Abbey of Pershore, co. Worcester, for there the glory of her miracles is more sought for than elsewhere.

Leland declares that Edburga eventually became Abbess of this religious establishment at Winchester, nor is it unlikely. And, according to Tanner,5 she was finally joined in the dedication of it with the Virgin Mary.
