St. Bega

The legend is that St. Bega (Died: AD 681) was the daughter of an Irish king and was the most beautiful woman in her country. She was to be married to the King of Norway, but she had, from her infancy, vowed herself to an ascetic life and. The night before her wedding-day, finding no ship to speed her escape, she cut a turf from the ground and, on it, crossed the Irish Sea. She landed on a promontory - thenceforth called St. Bee's Head, in Cumbria.
Without land or title, She asked the lord of Egremont for some land and he laughingly gave her as much as the snow would cover the next day - which happened to be Midsummer Day. But of course the next day the snow falls, covering only the land within about three miles, enough to place a priory.
(and below is a church bearing her name!)
WELL, should've been below, angels in the machine!
