St. Felix was the 'Apostle of East Anglia'. He was born in Burgundy some time before 600. and already consecrated a bishop, came to England with Honorius, Archbishop of Canterbury. In 630 the kingdom of East Anglia received a Christian king, Sigebert (who had become a Christian in exile in Germany), and Felix was sent to spread the Gospel there. His mission lasted for 17 fruitful years. He founded a monastery at Soham, in the fens near Ely, where he was to be buried, though his remains were later transferred to the great Abbey of Ramsey, near Peterborough. He died in 647. The port-town of Felixstowe, near Ipswich. takes its name from him, Dunwich, where he established his see, no longer exists. Once a city one square mile in size, with (allegedly) 52 churches, chapels, religious houses and hospitals it has been almost completely lost to the advancing North Sea, most particularly in the 14th. century - even though it still returned an MP until the Reform Bill of 1832. The site of St. Felix's cathedral - just like St. Wilfrid's at Selsey - is now lost under many feet of mud and sand.
