Life

Saint Cuthflaed of Lyminster (Cuthflæd) was an Anglo-⁠Saxon saint. According to the hagiography of the Secgan Manuscript, she is buried in or near the priory at Lyminster in West Sussex. The priory, possibly an old Saxon royal minster of Benedictine nuns, was founded or refounded about 1082 by Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Sussex, and dissolved about 1414; it is now the parish church of St Mary Magdalene. No other details of her life have been kept. She is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally.
