Julian

Julian of Tarsus
In the 1970s when I first heard Donald Nicholl* speaking about "Julian of Norridge" (that's how I heard it) I wrote it down to rhyme with porridge.

The anchoress who lived next door to the church of St Julian of Norwich was a wonderful counselor, apparently, holding her office hours a la Lucy Van Pelt at a walk-up window (like a Brooklyn pizza bakery).

St Julian of Antioch aka Julian of Tarsus was a martyr of the 4th Century.
