Cynibil

Saint Cynibil was a priest of Northumbria in the seventh century, the brother of Saints Cedd and Chad. Bede names him among four brothers prominent in the early Anglo-⁠Saxon Church, the others being Chad, Cedd and Caelin; two of them became bishops. When Cedd undertook a forty-⁠day fast to purify the site of the monastery at Lastingham, Cynibil took over the fast on the thirtieth day. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 2 March (new calendar).
