1. Yes - Venerable Bede known as the Father of English History.
2. John Wycliffe - translated the Bible into English, was declared a heretic. He was actually mentioned in an episode of PBS's Secrets of the Dead called the Battle for the Bible.

Yup, that's where I recognized the name from as well, but somehow I don't think that's the one the OP had in mind.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

I am well acquainted with the Venerable Bede and own and have read his Ecclesiastical History of the English People.
I know the name "John Wycliffe" but his accomplishments and understudy escape me.
