We may still name him as the patron saint of London, [his]… cult survived for over eight hundred years, before entering the temporary darkness of the last four centuries.”
— Peter Ackroyd
The profound historical and cultural connection to St. Erkenwald, the patron saint of London, is experiencing a powerful national revival, and a period of eclipse is now conclusively ending, with England witnessing a widespread re-emergence of interest in London, here in Shropshire, and across the country, highlighting the importance of this figure and his Anglo-Saxon legacy that links us back to the earliest unified English Church.
Erkenwald Tee
This renewed focus has has led to a strong, natural desire within the wider community to connect physically with this long-suppressed history.
In the new year, there will be demand for material culture around the memory of Erkenwald.
We are working on this.
We are carefully developing early iterations that reflect the integrity and depth of this rediscovered legacy.
Please message us if you’d like an early Tee which is currently being produced in small numbers. We look forward to sharing this tangible thread of English history with you!
