The Venerable Bede, in his Ecclesiastical History, describes St Hybald as a "most holy and continent man who was an abbot in Lindsey", at the Benedictine abbey at Bardney, St Hybald was also a friend of Saint Chadd, and, had a prophetic vision of his death. followed Chadd's example and became an hermit. Hybald died around 690, and was buried in the village of Hibaldstow, Lincs, whose name means place where St Hybald is buried. Following his canonisation, a shrine was built near his grave to hold his relics, and became a place of pilgrimage. This continued until the English Reformation when the shrine was destroyed. Hybald's body remained undisturbed until it was rediscovered in 1864, when the, then, dilapidated church was rebuilt. addition to Hibaldstow, three Lincolnshire churches are dedicated to Hybald at Ashby de la Launde, Manton and Scawby
