Grimbald

Saint Grimbald or Grimwald (827 - July 8, 901) was a Benedictine, invited to England by King Alfred the Great in 885. Grimbald arrived in England and declined the see of Canterbury, preferring to remain a monk. He became the abbot of the New Minster at Winchester appointed by King Edward the Elder. Grimbald is credited with restoring learning to England.
