Lindifarne Gospels - September 2022

The passing Lindisfarne Gospels visited the children of Hipsburn Primary, who were thrilled with stories of artefacts claiming thousands of years of history. Said items included: replicas of the Lindisfarne Gospels; the St. John Gospels; and a copy of the coffin that St. Cuthbert’s monks carried all the way from Durham to Lindisfarne – a journey that was now taking place again after hundreds of years. The story of St. Cuthbert inspired many teachers and students alike. We would like to thank those making the pilgrimage for the knowledge you shared with us.”
