Image of St. Cuthburga

Cuthburga The first abbess of Wimborne, St. Cuthburga was well-connected: she was the daughter, wife, and mother of kings. She left her husband to become a nun under St. Hildelitha at Barking. Sometime after 705, Cuthburga and her sister, St. Quenburga, founded a double-monastery at Wimborne, from which a band of missionary nuns left for Germany, where they worked with St. Boniface. Hard on herself but kind to others, Cuthburga died c. 725.
