Quite interesting to see that i now found better matches in images & text in the UK than in any other country...
There were strong ties between St. Gall and England (e.g., Bury St. Edmonds, London, and others). I discovered this relationship through paleographic research.
St. Gall was named after an Irish monk, thus tying Switzerland to monasteries in the islands from its inception.
St. Gall and its English associates shared writing styles, news, and possibly brewery knowledge. Bury St. Edmonds was a place of pilgrimage, an important town in Saxon history, and St. Gall was apparently, at times, staffed by English monks (I'm still trying to trace this detail).
St. Gall developed a remarkable library and probably shared manuscripts with fellow monks in England.
