Mysteriously Boring Britain, Part 89

The Monglesham Oblong is seven hundred miles wide and at least half-an-inch tall. It is over three thousand years old and made from petrified ognum ware. It was given its controversial name by Edward the Toilet Builder, who built a series of pilgrim's toilets along the oblong's route in the year 1372.
Some modern geometric authorities assert that the oblong is, in fact, merely a line, but this theory can not explain the intense feeling of rectangularity that many people experience after walking the entire length of the oblong, a distance that takes them far from their starting point at Monglesham Wick.
According to local legend, the oblong was originally coiled like a serpent but was straightened out by Saint Puny sometime during the second century. But when his unraveling task was completed the saint didn't know what to do next, so he just left the oblong lying there and buggered off to the Holy Land.
The Monglesham Oblong is open all year round, and there are lots and lots of public toilets nearby, so visitors won't get short.

St.Puny! Is he the one that was martyred by having sand kicked in his face?

Yes, he failed to follow to the gospel of Mr Apollo.
