'''Saint Abban the Hermit''', born in [[Country|Ireland]] in the 4th century, was an early Christian hermit and preacher who shaped monasticism in [[State/Administrative subdivision|Berkshire]], [[Country|England]]. Fleeing Ireland, possibly after surviving a massacre at Stonehenge c. 456, he settled in [[Abingdon]], founding a hermitage that became a pilgrimage site, later named “Abban’s Hill.” His sermons, delivered in the [[Rite|Latin Rite]], drew crowds, and he established a monastery fostering prayer and learning. His influence, akin to an [[Bishop|Archbishop of Paris]], spread Christianity in pre-Patrician Britain, per early hagiographies. He died c. 520, his life largely undocumented but revered in [[Abingdon]]’s [[Parish]]. | '''Saint Abban the Hermit''', born in [[Country|Ireland]] in the 4th century, was an early Christian hermit and preacher who shaped monasticism in [[State/Administrative subdivision|Berkshire]], [[Country|England]].
