Hilda of Whitby

...(614-680) is the saint recognized on the Anglican calendar today. The 1917 Catholic Encyclopedia's entry for her (which places her feast on the day before) is not all that remarkable, when you consider her role in the early Anglican tradition: "[S]he founded the abbey at Whitby, where both nuns and monks lived... [which] was the site of the famous synod convened to decide divisive questions involved in the differing traditions of Celtic Christians and the followers of Roman order. Hilda favored the Celtic position, but when the Roman position prevailed she was obedient to the synod's decision."

In iconography, she is often depicted with a crosier, since in medieval times, both abbots and abbesses had the administrative and jurisdictional powers associated with bishops in the present day.
