ABSTRACT
The document known as The Resting Places of the Saints, completed around 1031, gives a kind of'Cook's Guide'to the whereabouts of famous saintly relics in England at that time. Many of the saints concerned had rested in the same churches for a considerable period by 1031, a few perhaps from as early as the sixth century AD, and others from the seventh century. Lists like this were a common feature of Western Christendom and may have been intended to direct pilgrims, although this list is not directly arranged for this purpose.
