 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Herbert of Derwentwater. (Discuss) Proposed since August 2016. |
Hereberht of Huntingdon was a seventh century Mercian Hermit and local saint of Anglo-Saxon England.
Very little is known of his life, or ministry, but he is mentioned by Bede, Henry of Huntingdon[1] and the Secgan Hagiography.[2]
According to Bede, Hereberht was a friend of St. Cuthbert.[3][4] and like Cuthbert retired as an Anchorite to an Island (in his case in a lake),[5] where he died in 687AD,[6][7] and was venerated.
