  St. Cedd's College, Cambridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cedd's College is a fictional college of Cambridge University created by Douglas Adams.
It was named, of course, after Saint Cedd, brother of Saint Chad, whom Gently describes as "one of the duller Northumbrian saints."
Saint Cedd was the person who brought Christianity to Essex, and Adams may have been familiar with this name from his time at school in Brentwood, where there is a St. Cedd's church.

St. Cedd was the eldest of four holy brothers, born into a noble Northumbrian family at the beginning of the 7th century.
Cedd attended the synod - probably with his brother, Chad - to act as interpreter and to speak on behalf of his fellow Celtic ecclesiastics, Bishop Colman of Lindisfarne and Abbess Hilda of Whitby.
Cedd was first buried in the open air and his funeral was attended by some thirty monks from Bradwell who, sadly, also contracted the plague and died.

The Kings previous chaplain had been Cedd's brother, a priest named Caelin, a man equally devoted to God, who had ministered the word and sacraments to himself and his family, and it was thought of him that the King came to know and love the bishop.
When Cedd had been bishop of the province and administered the affairs of the monastery for many years through his chosen representatives, he happened to visit the monastery at the time of plague, and there he fell sick and died.
When the brethren of Cedd's monastery in the province of the East Saxons heard that their founder had died in the province of Northumbria, about thirty of them came wishing, God willing, either to live near the body of their Father, or to die and be laid to rest at his side.
