An Anglo-Saxon who cared for the animals at the double monastery of Streonaeshalch (Whitby Abbey) during the abbacy (657-680) of St. Hilda (614-680), The sole source of original information about Caedmon's life and work is Bede's Historia ecclesiastica. He is seen here before the abbess, St Hilda of Whitby.
