Saint Beocca

Beocca (died 870) was a hieromartyr, abbot of Chertsey, and a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. His feast day is April 10. A Danish invading army destroyed the monasteries at Chertsey and Barking, which had been founded by Saint Erkenwald for himself and his sister, Saint Ethelburga. All the nuns at Barking were killed. According to William of Malmesbury, ninety monks were killed at Chertsey, along with their abbot, Saint Beocca, and the priest, Saint Hethor.
