The patron saint of England

Used to be this chap. Who did actually live and preach in England. Currently serving as patron saint of Northumbria.

This fellow however, never did, and probably never heard of the place.

On the other hand, would the country of my birth have ever reached its one time ascendancy within the panoply of nations with the battle cry of "For God, King Harry and........ St Cuthbert?" Ah.

Maybe it's just as well.
