	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.

	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 653 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.
		An abbey for the canons of St. Augustin was subsequently founded here in or before the year 1118, in honour of St. Peter, St. Paul, and the above-mentioned St. Osyth.

		St Osyth, according to legend, founded a nunnery at Cicc (later to be named St Osyth in her honour) in the seventh century.
		The town of St Osyth is thought to have been founded by the priory, the main settlement area is centred on the cross-roads formed by the road that runs from Clacton to the creek and the Colchester road, with a second focus 600m to the west beside the creek, where there is a quay.
		The economy of medieval St Osyth appears to have centred on the priory and on the town’s function as a market-centre for the eastern end of the Tendring peninsula.

		When St Edith died, Osyth was returned to her parents, but considering her far too important as a dynastic pawn to be allowed to further her religious ambition, they accepted, on her behalf, an offer of marriage from the King of Essex, Sigehere.
		After the event Osyth is said to have been buried in the church of St Peter and St Paul at Chich, which she had founded, but with Danish marauders still threatening eastern England, her parents removed her body to St Mary's church at Aylesbury.
		One source says that Osyth was returned to Chich just six years after her removal to Aylesbury, while another states that St Mary's church became a site of great pilgramage until a papal decree in 1500 had her bones removed from the church and secretly buried elsewhere.

		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.

		Here she founded a church of St. Peter and St. Paul, and instituted a nunnery, supposed to be the most ancient monastic establishment in England.
		She was beheaded by the Danes, and the legend runs that at the place of her martyrdom a fountain sprang up, which continues to this day as a sovereign remedy for many diseases ; her head was cut off ; the body rose, and taking the head in her hand walked--guided by angels--to the church.
		If what honest Capgrave tells of St. Osyth be correct, it is scarcely wonderful that her restless spirit should "walk" at certain approved times of the year.

		For the afflicted Catholic population of St Michan's during the whole reign of Elizabeth, and most of that of her successor, the times were hard indeed.
		In 1880 St. Joseph's New Church was opened, and in 1882 the Canon was raised to the dignity of Archdeacon of Glendalough.

		The cult of St. Osyth rose to prominence under the Norman encouragement of Anglo-Saxon saints.
		In 1076, her relics were translated by Bishop Hugh, and again in 1186 by Maurice, but the real promotion of Osyth came under Bishop Richard Belmeis I of London, who founded a house of fl canons there whom he endowed with the manor of Chich and other churches.
		The prominence of the cult of St. Osyth at the heart of the intellectual circles close to the Norman and Angevin kings makes her Anglo-Norman life, by far the longest and most complete of the extant lives, especially important to a study of the development of vernacular literature in the twelfth century.
