King Sebert is said to have died about the year 616, and he and his wife Ethelgoda were buried in the church at Thorney. His tomb was replaced in the great church built on Thorney Isle by Edward the Confessor, and was finally moved into the present church, where it still remains.
It is supposed that the church at Thorney was left neglected until it was restored by Offa, King of the Mercians.
