He landed on the coast of Somerset, and finding a spot near Dunster which promised to satisfy his longings, established himself there. The place still bears his name, and is attached to a prebendal stall in the Cathedral of Wells, also called St. Decumans. The Saint is venerated as a Martyr, having been put to death by a murderer, in hatred of religion."Rev. Richard Stanton.
