Life

Saint Aethelwine of Coln (also called Aldwyn) is an Anglo-⁠Saxon saint honoured at Coln St Aldwyn in Gloucestershire, a village whose name is believed to come from him. In Bede there appears an Aldwyn, abbot of Partney, the brother of Saint Æthelwine, Bishop of Lindsey from about 680, and of the abbess Æthelhild; it is not known whether he is the saint of Coln, but it is possible. The sources found say no more about his life.
