Updated: May 13, 2025

Frisia's debt was remembered in the seventeenth century, when one of the Canons of Antwerp wrote an account of Ripon monastery for his countrymen. Until Walbran drew attention to this passage, the rebuilding was attributed to Thurstan. Especially at St. Wilfrid's shrine. It has been suggested that this was the iron which in Saxon times had been used for the ordeal of fire.
