Crispin and Crispianus, allegedly twins were Roman Shoemakers and became the patron saints of Shoemakers, Cobblers and Tanners etc, they lived and worked in the 3rd century ad, the 25th of October is St Crispins Day commemorating the brothers and made famous by William Shakspeares play "Henry V" in the speech just before the Battle of Agincourt....
"This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."
Now about St Hughs bones.... but I think that may be off topic

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
