'There used to exist [at Soham] a large and well-known monastic house, in which a considerable community of monks, assembled by a venerable princeps, Lutting 1, observed the order of a holy rule under an abbot, Wærfrith 7. Indeed, one reads in an English source that St Felix 2 was the original founder of the old monastery of Soham and of the church at Redham. |

|
The remains of Felix 2 were translated from Soham to Ramsey in the time of King Cnut 3. This was done some years after the church had been destroyed by pagans from Denmark. |
