River Blithe
The River Blithe is a river in Staffordshire, England. It is a tributary of the River Trent and runs for around 18 miles from source to its confluence with the River Trent. Etymology The Origins of the name Blithe probably come from the Old English for gentle, cheerful, quiet or merry. This is probably rooted in fact as the River runs as a gentle stream for most of its journey to the River Trent. Course The Blithe rises in the Hills to the East of Stoke on Trent near Heywood Grange Farm at around 800 feet above sea level. It is joined by several smaller streams as it makes its way towards Caverswall. The River though is still only a small stream at this stage. It passes the village of Blythe Bridge and roughly follows the Stoke to Derby Railway line until it reaches Church Leigh. The countryside is mainly agricultural and is intensively farmed. The River then turns south and flows into Blithfield Reservoir at Newton Hurst. On leaving the reservoir it flows south-east for about ...

Saint Blida
Blida (recorded as Blithe in some sources) was an Anglo-Saxon princess, known for being the mother of Saint Walstan, whose cult was celebrated during the Middle Ages in the English county of Norfolk. She is associated with the Norfolk village of Martham, where she is considered to have been buried, and where there was once a chapel. Life Blida lived in the vill of Bawburgh, where her son Walstan was born. Descended from royalty, her husband is named as being Benedict. She was a kinswoman of the English king Æthelred the Unready and his son Edmund Ironside. Following her death and burial at Martham, Norfolk, a chapel was dedicated in her honour, and bequests were made to her for over 400 years. At the age of 12, Walstan renounced his life of privilege and with his parents' permission determined to devote his life to one of prayer, although not as a monk. The anonymous ''English Life'' gives Walstan's birthplace as "Blyborow town" or Blythburgh, Suffolk, and relates that he wa ...
