In 1033, the remains of St Mildred were translated to the monastery of Austin's at Canterbury, and venerated above all the relics of that holy place, says Malmesbury, who testifies frequent miracles to have been wrought by them: Thorn and others confirm the same. Two churches in London bear her name.
