Headda[a] (died c. 721) was an early medieval Bishop of Lichfield.[b]

Career

Headda was consecrated in 691 and died between 716 and 727.[1] He held the see of Leicester along with Lichfield.[1] In 706 Headda consecrated the new church constructed at Crowland by Guthlac.[2]

Prior to Headda's consecration, he had "almost certainly" been abbot of the monastery at Breedon on the Hill in Leicestershire, before which he may also have been a monk at Medeshamstede.[3]
