Swithhun 5 appeared in a dream to Anonymous 656 and told him to go to the Old Minster and tell Anonymi 1504 that their behaviour displeased God.

Æthelwold 1 commanded the monks with a mighty threat that at all healings they would go to the church as soon as the sign had been given and would sing prayers of thanksgiving.
