I Am The Landscape

Saint Eadwold (835-900) was a 9th hermit/saint.
He wandered the woods naked, like a monastic Adam  
who had no Eve, searching for God, whilst living
on what he found to eat. His faith made him
a conduit for many miracles, received by other people.

His remains were first interred in his (little used)
monks cell and then transferred to Cerne Abbey.
There, two centuries later, their veneration made
where they rested the third richest place in England.
