Cuthburh

Saint Cuthburh or Cuthburg, Cuthburga (Old English: Cūþburh; died 31 August 725) was the first Abbess of Wimborne Minster.[5][6] According to a report by Florence of Worcester, written long afterwards, at some time before Aldfrith's death in 705 he and Cuthburh "renounced connubial intercourse for the love of God".[7] After Aldfrith's death, around 705, Cuthburh and Cwenburh established a double-monastery in her brother's kingdom of Wessex, at Wimborne, Dorset.Among Saint Boniface's surviving letters is an anonymous account of a vision of Abbess Cuthburh in Hell.[10] In 1538, Wimborne Minster being in need of repair, the guardians of the church wrote Thomas Cromwell for permission to melt down the silver reliquary containing Cuthburh's head.
