Ymar of Reculver was an Anglo-Saxon Benedictine monk who lived during the early 9th century. He resided at Reculver, where he was eventually killed by Danish warriors. His name is potentially linked to the origin of the place name Margate. Following his death around 830, his remains were moved from his original monastery to a different location in Margate.
