From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elfin of Warrington is a little-known saint venerated in medieval Warrington, near the modern city of Liverpool. [1] He is known only from one entry in the Domesday Book, his cult or church holding one carucate of land. [1] The name is Brittonic, derived from Latin Alpinus. [1]
