Beornstan the Archdeacon, also known as Byrnstan, was a medieval Catholic saint from Kent in Anglo-Saxon England.[1]
Very little is known of the life of this saint and he is known to history mainly through the hagiography of the Secgan Manuscript[2] and also The Catalogus Sanctorum in Anglia Pausantium.[3] He was Kentish, an archdeacon and was buried at St Augustine's Abbey, indicating a possible association with the early Abbey.
