Arriving in England around 885, Grimbald played a significant role in the revival of learning and religion during Alfred's reign. He contributed to the establishment of schools and was involved in the translation of important texts into Old English, assisting in the promotion of literacy and education.

Grimbald is remembered for his dedication to the monastic life, his contributions to the revival of learning in England, and his role in the spiritual and educational reforms of King Alfred's reign. He passed away on July 8, 903, and was buried in the New Minster, Winchester.
