Celtic and Old English Saints 22 January =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * St. Brithwold of Sarum =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
St. Brithwold of Sarum, Bishop (Berhtwald, Brihtwald) ------------------------------------------------------- Died 1045. Saint Brithwold was a monk at Glastonbury in Wiltshire who was chosen bishop of Ramsbury in 995, and governed it for 50 years. After his death the see was moved to Old Sarum. His fame comes not from his long episcopate, but from his prophecy and vision concerning the successor to Saint Edward the Confessor (f.d. October 13). He was a great benefactor to Malmesbury and Glastonbury, where he was buried (Benedictines, Coulson, Farmer). Sources: ===== Benedictine Monks of Saint Augustine Abbey, Ramsgate. (1947).
