I removed the bit about Tomten på Töreby as this is a story by Selma Lagerlöf and is about a Swedish town. I also took out the bit about the local businesses as they aren't of relevance to an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dillylabs (talk • contribs) 14:09, 28 June 2013 (UTC) And Ricolf of Odense wouldn't have been associated with the church in Toreby as he lived in the twelfth century. He was given some land at Geltofte (which is now in Toreby) as a reward for his support of Eric II in the civil war: http://www.denstoredanske.dk/Dansk_Biografisk_Leksikon/Kirke_og_tro/Biskop/Ricolf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dillylabs (talk • contribs) 14:38, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
