Athelney

Athelney is a small village located in the Sedgemoor district of Somerset, England. The village, near North Petherton, was once isolated in the marshes of the Somerset Levels, and is best known for once being the hiding place of King Alfred the Great, from where he went on to defeat the Danes at the Battle of Eddington. Alfred later founded a monastery at Athelney that lasted until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539, under King Henry VIII of England.
