Simon Binham or Bynham (fl. c. 1335–1350) was an English chronicler and Benedictine monk of the priory of Binham, Norfolk.[1] He assisted the prior of Binham in opposing the exactions of Hugh, abbot of St. Albans, and was imprisoned for some time with the other rebellious monks. He is said to have contributed to the continuation of the Chronicle of Rishanger, but his other writings are largely lost.[2]
