Cælin

Cælin was one of four brothers named by Bede as active in the early Anglo-Saxon Church.[1] Bede portrays Cælin as a chaplain at the court of Ethelwald, a nephew of King Oswiu of Northumbria.Ethelwald was appointed to administer the coastal area of Deira.It was on the initiative of Cælin that Ethelwald donated land for the building of a monastery at Lastingham in the North York Moors.The monastery became a base for Cedd, who was serving as a missionary bishop in Essex, and for Chad, who succeeded him as abbot.
