=== Relics at Arundel === [[File:Arundel Castle -West Sussex, England-23June2011 (2).jpg|thumb |alt=aerial photo of Arundel|upright=1.3|[[Arundel Castle]] in [[West Sussex]]]] In 1901 the [[Archbishop of Westminster]], [[Herbert Vaughan]], received "certain relics" from the Basilica of Saint-Sernin. The relics, believed at the time to be those of St Edmund, were intended for the high altar of London's [[Westminster Cathedral]], which was then under construction.{{sfn|Gem|2020}} The acceptance of the relics required the intercession of [[Pope Leo XIII]], after an initial refusal by the church in France.{{sfn|Houghton|1970|p=78}} Upon their arrival in England they were housed in the [[Fitzalan Chapel]] at [[Arundel Castle]] prior to their translation to Westminster. Although their validity had been confirmed in 1874, when two pieces were given to [[Henry Edward Manning|Edward Manning, Archbishop of Westminster]], concerns were raised about the authenticity of the Arundel relics by [[M. R. James|Montague James]] and Charles Biggs in ''[[The Times]]''. The relics remained at Arundel under the care of the [[Duke of Norfolk]] while a historical commission was set up by Cardinal Vaughan and Archbishop Germain of Saint-Sernin. They remain {{As of|1993|lc=y}} at Arundel.{{sfn|Gem|2020|p=45}} In 1966 three teeth from the collection of relics from France were given to [[Douai Abbey]] in [[Berkshire]].{{sfn|Gem|2020}}
