[MR] BBC: Mystery of Hair Found in Saxon Church

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

Today the BBC has a fascinating piece about a plait of hair found during 
the 19th century in a casket buried beneath Romsey Abbey, a church near 
Southampton. The hair is thought to belong to Saint Morwenna who was the 
first abbess here or Saint Ethelflaeda, who is the patron saint of the 
church. Analysis of the hair suggests the hair likely dates to the 10th 
or 11th century, but so far there is no proof it belongs to either of 
these obscure Saxon saints: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36094897 .

Yours Aye,
