Alkmund of Derby

Alkmund of Derby (or of Lilleshall), also spelt Ealhmund, Alhmund, Alcmund, or Alchmund (d. c. 800) was a son of Alhred of Northumbria, who was caught up in the kingdom's dynastic struggles.

He was buried first in Shropshire,[1] and then removed to "Northworthy", i.e. modern Derby, because of Viking raids.

In the early 10th century, his remains were translated to Shrewsbury, probably by Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians.

[5] When St Alkmund's, Shrewsbury became the property of Lilleshall Abbey about 1145, his body was translated back to Derby.

Artefacts found included the stone sarcophagus now in Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
