Saint Chad was a prominent Anglo Saxon Churchmen who became abbot of several monasteries. Bishop of Northumbrians and subsequently Bishop of Mercia and the Lindsey people. He was the brother of Cedd who also became a saint.
Theodore, the new archbishop of Canterbury, was impressed by Saint Chad’s humility.
The Venerable Bede said that the two years Chad worked as bishop in Mercia
were decisive in christianising Mercia.
Apparently he walked nearly everywhere but was eventually persuaded by Theodore to travel on horseback.
Read about how seven days before he died a guest visited him to fore warn him.
Saint Chad died during a plague.
