Ætla, who lived in the 7th century, was believed to be one in a series of Bishops of Dorchester of the Roman Catholic Church of England during the Anglo-Saxon period. The village of Attlebridge, England is named after him, as he is credited for the construction of a bridge ('brycg' in Old English) there.
He was attested about 660.[1]
