Died at Thorney, Cambridgeshire, England, in 870. Very little is known of these hermits from Thorney, except that Tancred and Torthred were men; Tova, a woman. According to the 12th-century Pseudo-Ingulph, which may be based on older texts, they were martyred by Danish invaders. They were venerated at their shrine at Thorney before the end of the first millenium. Their bodies were translated by Saint Ethelwold (f.d. August 1) (Farmer).
