Well-known and more obscure saints jostle together in King Edwards box of relics. (St. Amphibalis was the name given to the priest sheltered by St. Alban, then himself a pagan. St. Geronimus, who may be intended for one of several other saints with a similar name, eludes me completely). The point is that although the cult of many saints did not spread beyond a local area associated with them, a saint did not need to be English, or well-known, to be honoured by English people either by veneration of their relics or painting them in the church. St. Vedast is shown in stained glass at Long Melford and Blythburgh in Suffolk - he was a sixth century bishop of Arras in northern France and almost certainly never came to England. Likewise St. Elizabeth of Hungary, who had so far as I know no personal connection with England, is painted on a screen in Tor Brian (Torbryan), Devon. But such was the nature of the international cult of saints in the Middle Ages - St. Apollonia helped to cure toothache and is still found on East Anglian screens as a result, St. Margaret of Antioch helped pregnant women. In this sense, all saints were everywhere. As if to underline this point, the infant saint Cyriacus (Quiriacus, Cyr) has now emerged at Hardwick in Cambridgeshire, albeit in the form of a dream-image.
