Today (January 8) is the feast of St Wulsin, who was appointed superior of the restored abbey of Westminster circa 960.
St Wulsin originally became a monk at Glastonbury, under St Dunstan, and went on to become part of the tenth century English Benedictine reform movement.
The saint was subsequently appointed as bishop of Sherborne (circa 960) and introduced a monastic chapter within his see.
He was famous for his austere life, modesty and humility, particularly reflected in his very modest pontifical regalia, which remained on display a century after his death.
