Hybald was a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon saint and abbot who lived in the region of Lindsey. Described by the Venerable Bede as a holy and continent man, he served as an abbot, possibly at the monastery in Bardney. He was a contemporary and friend of Saint Chad, whom he reportedly followed into a life of hermitism after experiencing a prophetic vision regarding Chad's death. He passed away around 690 and was interred in the location that eventually took his name.
