Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The churches of Middleham and Giggleswick in Yorkshire are dedicated to an otherwise unknown saint, Alkelda. It was suggested in the Yorkshire Archaeol J of 1893 that the name derives from the phrase halig keld, holy spring, and that the saint had never existed. This article argues that Alkelda probably did exist, that the modern form of the name is based on a genuine Anglo-Saxon personal name, Alchhild, and that she may have lived some form of the religious life in seventh- or eighth-century Northumbria.
