Cuthbert (died 26 October 760) was a medieval Anglo-Saxon Archbishop of Canterbury in England. Prior to his elevation to Canterbury he was abbot of a monastic house and perhaps may have been Bishop of Hereford also but evidence for his holding Hereford mainly dates from after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. While Archbishop he held church councils and built a new church in Canterbury. It was during Cuthbert’s archbishopric that the Diocese of York was raised to an archbishopric.
