== Dedication of abbey churches == [[St Mary's Abbey, Winchester]] was at one time co-dedicated to St. Eadburh. [[Pershore Abbey]] was also for some time dedicated to her after Egilwado (Alwardus or Æthelweard), the nephew of the Abbess of St. Mary's Abbey, acquired some of her bones for £100.<ref name=Baugh >{{cite book|last= Andrews |first=Francis Baugh |title=The Benedictine abbey of SS. Mary, Peter, and Paul at Pershore, Worcestershire |page=[https://archive.org/details/benedictineabbey00andruoft/page/n29 6] |year=1901 |place= Birmingham and Pershore |publisher= Midland Educational Co. : Fearnside & Martin |url=https://archive.org/details/benedictineabbey00andruoft}}</ref> The dedication of the Abbey varied at different times in its history. In the [[Domesday Book]] it is called the Abbey of St. Mary; in Henry VIII's time the Valor of St. Edburga. It has also been called the Church of SS Mary, Edburga and Holy Cross (the parochial portion was dedicated to the Holy Cross). In its earlier years SS. Mary, Peter, and Paul were its patron saints, but at the time of the introduction of the Benedictines it was probably dedicated to St. Mary, with whom was joined St. Edburga, whose relics had then not long been added to its treasure.<ref name=Baugh />
