Cedd was a Northumbrian monk trained at Lindisfarne who led a mission to the Middle Angles in 653 and then reconverted the East Saxons as their bishop. He founded churches at Bradwell-on-Sea and Tilbury and the monastery of Lastingham in Yorkshire, and acted as interpreter at the Synod of Whitby in 664. He died of plague later that year.
