Babingleyとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Babingley is one of Norfolk's lost villages. This small parish was located on the western side of the A149, 1 mile north-west of Castle Rising, and 5½ miles north-north-east of King's Lynn. It is claimed that Babingley was the landfall of St Felix the Burgundian, who converted the East Angles. Felix was invited by the Wuffings, the East Anglian royal family, to evangelise their kingdom - although Babingley is about as far as it is possible to be in East Anglia from the former royal capital at Rendlesham. St Felix is said to have arrived in Babingley around AD 615 via the River Babingley after taking shelter from a violent storm, and made his way to Canterbury where he was ordained as a bishop around 630 by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Honorius, at the request of King Sigebert of East Anglia. St Felix made his cathedral on the other side of the kingdom at Dummoc, the modern Walton.
