The church and village of Romaldkirk are named after Saint Rumwald of Brackley, also known as Rumwold or Rumbald of Buckingham. He was born in King's Sutton, Northamptonshire, probably in 650 AD. He was said to be the maternal grandson of King Penda of Mercia, and the son of a pagan prince of Northumbria. An eleventh century legend relates that the three-day-old prince pronounced the Christian Creed loudly immediately after his baptism, preached a sermon on the Holy Trinity and the need for virtuous living, and then died. Another version of the tale maintains that immediately after his birth he cried out in a loud voice, "I am a Christian", and then he 'made a noble sermon with marvellous good eloquence'. http://www.hectorparr.freeuk.com/Romaldkirk/strom.htm
