Caedmon was a herdsmen who looked after the animals at a monastery in Whitby. He was notable, not for his abilities, but for his lack. As soon as the harp came out, every member of the monastery was expected to sing or recite a poem. As Caedmon was illiterate, unmusical and unpoetical, he would normally leave the hall and head towards his animals. Hiding amongst them.
