Richard Rolle (c.1300 – 1349) was an English religious writer, Bible translator, and Hermit . He is known as '''Richard Rolle of Hampole''' or '''de Hampole''', since in his final years he settled at Hampole , near the Cistercian Nunnery , after years of wandering. He was brought up near Pickering , and studied at the University Of Oxford , supported by Thomas De Neville , leaving there at age 18 or 19. He had his cell first at Pickering, and then in the North Yorkshire parish of Ainderby . He wrote in both Latin and English; many works are attributed to him, but it has been questioned how many are genuinely from his hand. Some were printed in the sixteenth century, by Wynkyn De Worde . He was regarded as a saint after his death; but he was never canonized. REFERENCES
