Leofwynn
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Leofwynn of Bishopstone also known as Lewinna or Leofwynn, was a seventh century female saint of Anglo-Saxon England, floruit 664–673 AD.[1][2] She was active under King Ecgberht of Kent, and died in 669 AD.
In 1058, a monk named Balger, from the Flemish monastery of Bergues, travelling by boat down the coast was blown into nearby Seaford during a nocturnal storm on Easter Saturday,[3] and stole her reliquary from the local Minster (perhaps Lewes).[4][5]
