Saint Alkelda, also spelt Alcelda, was an Anglo-Saxon princess of whom almost nothing is known and whose existence has been questioned. The legend is that she was an Anglo-Saxon princess, and probably also a nun, who was strangled by pagan Viking women during Danish raids of about 800 at Middleham in Yorkshire. She is patron of the church of Middleham, and also of that of Giggleswick, but of no others.

- Archivo:Alkelda Giggleswick SD8164 034. jpg St Alkelda, Giggleswick Alkelda es una santa anglosajonaa de la que apenas se conoce nada y cuya existencia ha sido cuestionada. La leyenda dice que era una princesa anglosajona, probablemente también una monja, que fue estrangulada por una mujer vikinga durante las incursiones danesas de 800 en Middleham y Yorkshire. Es la patrona de las iglesias de Middleham y de Giggleswick. No existen documentos acerca de su existencia anteriores a la alta Edad Media, así que se cree que el nombre de Alkelda puede ser una simple corrupción de la palabra anglosajona haligkelda, que significa manantial curativo. Festividad: 28 de marzo.

She is patron of the church of Middleham, and also of that of Giggleswick, but of no others. This area is known for its many springs, some very near the sites of these churches, and there is no documentary reference to this saint until the late Middle Ages, so it has been surmised that the name Alkelda is in fact simply a corruption of the Anglo-Saxon haligkelda, meaning healing spring. Feast day: 28 March.
