HALIWERFOLC: All Things Saint Cuthbert
http://stcuthbert.blogspot.com
Haliwerfolc is Old English for 'people of the holy man'. The holy man in question is Saint Cuthbert, 7th Century Anglo-Saxon bishop, hermit, wonder-worker and evangelist.
This blog is for people who, like me, love everything about Saint Cuthbert, his land, and his story.
