Life
Holy Hierarch Herefrith of Louth was Bishop of Lindsey in Lincolnshire in England. Orthodox England notes that he was probably killed by the Danes, around 869 (our record has 873), and his relics were venerated at Thorney in Cambridgeshire. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 27 February (new calendar).
