Ymar of Reculver (died c. 830) is an Anglo-Saxon saint.
Background
A Benedictine monk of Reculver, Ymar was killed by Danish warriors.[1] His name may be the source of the toponym Margate.[2] A legend states that he had a dying wish to be buried in St Johns parish church in Margate. Sometime before 1407 the body of St Ymar was brought from Reculver, where he had been a monk, and buried in St John the Baptist's church, Margate.[3] Tradition insists that an old stone coffin lid at that church is his.[4][5]
