Hybald
Saint Hybald (fl. c. 664 – c.690), also known as Higbald, Hibald or Hygbald, was a 7th-century Saxon saint. His feastdays are 18 September and 14 December (Orthodox).
Life and legacy.
The Venerable Bede, in his "Ecclesiastical History", describes St Hybald as a "most holy and continent man who was an abbot in Lindsey". It is conjectured, in the "Dictionary of Christian Biography" (1877–87), that this is the Benedictine abbey
rebuilt.
In addition to Hibaldstow, three Lincolnshire churches are dedicated to Hybald at Ashby de la Launde, Manton and Scawby.
