	St. Osyth's Priory
		Osyth's parents, as soon as she returned to them, betrothed her to Sighere, king of Essex; but as soon as she was wedded to, him she told him that she had vowed herself to Christ, and could not be his wife.
		The monkish legend adds, that after her head was cut off the saint took it in her hands, and walked with it to the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, about one-third of a mile; stopping at the church door that was closed, she struck it, and fell dead on the threshold.
		There is no reason to doubt that Osyth was martyred, and that the scene of her martyrdom was the Nun's Wood, but the legendary ending is, of course, an addition.

		The nun was St Osgyth, or Osyth, the wife of the Saxon king of Essex, who chose the veil rather than consummate her marriage.
		At St Osyth, though, there were few signs (for example) of the characteristic development around a market place, with long strips of land leading off from the road frontage.
		Some of the tradesmen who would have made their livings in St Osyth in the medieval era were identified from the names in historical documents, such as those dating from the introduction of the poll tax in the late 14th century.

	stosyth.gov.uk - About St. Osyth
		Osyth is a parish within the Tendring District Council administrative area and in the County of Essex.
		The name St. Osyth is attributed to the daughter of a King of East Anglia, who in 663 AD, was beheaded by Danish invaders, because she would not worship their idols, and the Priory was built in her honour.
		Osyth is an area which has become a favourite place for holidaymakers, the majority of whom use static caravan and chalet facilities, either as owners or visitors in such numbers as to raise the population in the Summer Season to over 20,000.

	St. Osyth
		Osyth is in the hundred of Tendring, 62 miles from London and 11 from Colchester, on the marshy coast at the north-eastern side of the mouth of the Colne.
		The original name of the place was Chich, and it took its name of St. Osyth from a virgin said to be of royal blood, but whose history involves too glaring an anachronism to be worthy of credit, who founded here a nunnery, afterwards destroyed by the Danes.
		Old Towns is a resource of 19th century English historical data, extracted and digitized from articles written between 1833 and 1848 which were originally published in 'The Penny Magazine' by The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.

	Commemoration of our Venerable Mother Osyth, Abbess of Chich
		Assembling today, O Christian people, let us praise the glorious Osyth, who was valiant among monastics; for, keeping the faith, she ran the course of ascetic endeavour, and having finished the race, she received the crown of victory from the hand of Christ, the Judge of the contest.
		Wherefore, O wondrous Osyth, arrayed in thy glory of thy piety as in bridal vesture, with the wise virgins thou hast gone in to His wedding banquet fittingly adorned, where thou dost delight forever in the vision of His radiant countenance.
		In the glory of thy steadfast faith in Christ, O Osyth, thou didst receive from His right hand the wreath of victory, which thou hadst earned by thine ascetic endeavors; and for this cause we unceasingly magnify thee with goodly hymnody of praise, as is meet.
