Saint Arnulf of Eynesbury was a 9th century hermit who was venerated at Arnulphsbury or Eynesbury, in England. Arnulf's relics were venerated in Arnulphsbury (Eanulfesbyrig or Eynesbury), Huntingdonshire, before the Danish invasions.
There is some confusion about his identity. He seems to have been forgotten by about 1000 AD, because "On the resting-places of the saints" mentions Saint Neot (feast day, July 31) but not Arnulf, which would have been expected.
He is described as an English hermit of the area, but he may well be a duplicate of Saint Arnulf of Metz (feast day July 18), which would explain why he was forgotten.
