Withburga founded a nunnery at East Dereham. On the west side of East Dereham Church may still be seen the ruins of a tomb (there is a well near)—the whole being inclosed. A stone bears this inscription—
“The Ruins of a tomb which contained the remains of
Withburga,
Youngest daughter of Annas,
King of the East-Angles,
Who died A.D. 654.
The Abbot and Monks of Ely stole this precious Relique and translated it to Ely Cathedral where it was interred near her three Royal sisters, A.D. 974.”
