His story is mostly unknown, but his legend holds that he was a hermit who had a pet Hind in the Arles District of France sometime after the fall of the Roman Empire.  The hounds of King Wamba (a Visigothic King) were chasing the deer, and shot an arrow into the undergrowth. The King and his men followed to discover Giles wounded by the arrow, protecting the hind, who he held in his arms. The hounds were miraculously stayed motionless as they leaped towards the hind. Wamba, which apparently means &#8216;Big paunch&#8217; in Gothic, also had a Roman name: Flavius. Giles was injured in the leg, although the image above shows the arrow hit his hand.  Wamba set him up as an Abbot of a Benedictine Monastery.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>St Giles is, therefore, the patron saint of disabled people. He is also also invoked for childhood fears, convulsions and depression. He was very popular in medieval Britain, with over 150 churches dedicated to him, including four in London. Perhaps the two most famous are St Giles Without Cripplegate in London and St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/barbican_dec_17-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/barbican_dec_17-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/barbican_dec_17-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/barbican_dec_17-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/barbican_dec_17-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/barbican_dec_17-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">St Giles Cripplegate, photographed by the Author at night from the Barbican Centre.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>St Giles Cripplegate <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>St Giles was built in the 11th Century, rebuilt in the 14th Century and again in 1545-50 after nearly being destroyed by fire. It survived the Great Fire of London, being just beyond the extent of the Fire. But it was badly damaged in the Blitz, although the Tower and the outer walls survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oliver Cromwell married Elizabeth Bourchier here. John Foxe of the Book of Martyrs, John Speed, the Cartographer, Martin Frobisher, the explorer and John Milton, the Poet were buried here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shenanigans with Milton&#8217;s Coffin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Milton&#8217;s coffin was opened in 1793 and he was said to have looked as if he had just been buried. One of those present, then, had a go at pulling Milton&#8217;s teeth out. A bystander helped by hitting his jaw with a stone. The few teeth Milton had left in his head were divided between the men, who also took a rib bone and locks of his hair. The Caretaker then opened the coffin for anyone who wanted to see the corpse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/city_west_dec_20_62-940x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/city_west_dec_20_62-940x1024.jpg 940w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/city_west_dec_20_62-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/city_west_dec_20_62-768x837.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/city_west_dec_20_62-1410x1536.jpg 1410w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/city_west_dec_20_62-1880x2048.jpg 1880w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From the London City Wall Trail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cripplegate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>St Giles is without Cripplegate.

An alternative explanation it from the Anglo Saxon crepel, which is an underground tunnel which is said to have run from the Gate&#8217;s Barbican to the Gate.
