Saint Godric

The Dying Saint

Join me today to meet a wanderer and a saint at the end of his long, strange life.

In the 1990s, the police sketch artist Detective Constable Bruce Burn created this sketch of what Saint Godric must have looked like, based on the detailed description in Reginald of Durham’s biography.
