More about this scene
The village features in the story surrounding Wulfhere of Mercia and his two sons Ulfred and Rufin. The two claimed to be going hunting, but came instead to Eccleshall; here they were baptized by Bishop Chad. Wulfhere caught his sons praying, and in a fit of rage killed them and then destroyed the church. He is then said to have repented, converted to Christianity, and rebuilt the church.
