Oh, yes and St Swithin(Swithun)........I'm pretty sure that his skeleton was broken up......his skull went to Canterbury Cathedral, and one of the bones from his arm went to Peterborough I believe. It was believed that the bones of a saint had special powers.
(not sure where the rest of him is placed)
