Saint Gobain (died 670), also known as Goban, was an Irish monk and spiritual student of Saint Fursey at Burgh Castle, Norfolk, England.
Born in
Abbey of Saint Vincent in Picardy,[1] or the abbey of Corbény in Champagne,[2] before settling in a hermitage in the forest of Voas, near the present Saint-Gobain
. There he brought forth a spring by thrusting his pilgrim's staff into the ground.
In 670, Gobain was beheaded by marauders, and buried in his oratory, which became a place of pilgrimage. His feast day is observed on 20 June.
