Herbert of Derwentwater was a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon priest who lived as an anchorite. He resided on St Herbert's Island in Derwentwater, England, where he maintained a simple life consisting of vegetables and fish. As a disciple of Saint Cuthbert, he sought spiritual guidance by visiting his mentor once every year. Their connection remained strong until 686, when they met in Carlisle. Herbert passed away on March 20, 687, the same day as Cuthbert.
