Withburga of Dereham
Withburga was an East Anglian princess, traditionally the youngest daughter of King Anna, who after her father's death withdrew to Dereham in Norfolk and founded a convent there. Tradition tells how, when provisions failed, two does came each day to give milk for her nuns; a holy spring later rose at her grave, and her incorrupt relics were eventually translated to Ely.
