And appropriately it is the Feast Day of St. Alnoth, who was a local enough lad to Luton and lived a life worthy of Suity.
Herder and hermit, mentioned in the life of St. Werburga. Alnoth tended cows on the lands of St. Werburga's monastery at Weedon, in Northhampton, England. He was badly used by a local official, earning a reputation for holiness and patience. Alnoth retired from active life and became a hermit. Two robbers accosted him in his hermitage, slaying him. He is honoured locally as a martyr, and his tomb at Stowe, near Bubrook in Northampton, became a popular shrine for pilgrims.
