	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Werburgh
		Werburgh thus united in her veins the blood of two very different races: one fiercely cruel and pagan; the other a type of gentle valour and Christian sanctity.
		The saint with some difficulty consented to sacrifice the seclusion she prized, and undertook the work of reforming the existing Mercian monasteries, and of founding new ones which King Ethelred generously endowed, namely, Trentham and Hanbury, in Staffordshire, and Weedon, in Northamptonshire.
		It had been the privilege of St. Werburgh to be trained by saints; at home by St. Chad (afterwards Bishop of Lichfield), and by her mother, and in the cloister by her aunt and grandmother.

	Spondon Village
		Saint Werburgh's church has been the most prominent landmark of Spondon since around 1390, it's spire reaching to a height of 114 feet, dominating the skyline and crowning the first rise of the Pennine hills.
		I could see the church from our windows and garden, and it always had great meaning for me. We lived in its kindly shadow, we attended its feasts and Saint's days, we said our goodbyes to unsung village heroes in it and to all the rest, the great and least of us.
		His father was a Canon from Lichfield Cathedral who, in his own retirement years, wrote a very good history of the Spondon church of St. Mary and St. Werburgh, entitled "How the Church came to Spondon".
