Abstract
Almost one thousand years ago, an army of Danes camped on Blackheath, straddling the old road to Dover and overlooking London. They demanded a large sum of money (by then known as Danegeld) in return for the Archbishop, captured during the sack of Canterbury. Below the heath in Greenwich, a church now bears the name of their captive, St Alphege (Glencross, 1974). St Alphege (at the time called Aelfheah) told the English not to pay ‘Danegeld’ for him, and was duly murdered after seven months in captivity.
