Cuthbert, St (d. 687). Probably of aristocratic Anglo‐Saxon origin, and born in Northumbria
c.5, Cuthbert was prompted by a vision of the soul of
Aidan to enter the monastery at Melrose. With Abbot Eata, he entered Alchfrith of Deira's new monastery at Ripon (late 650s), but returned after refusing to accept Roman practices. Cuthbert became prior in 664 and undertook teaching tours in Northumbria. After the Synod of
Whitby (664), Eata removed to Lindisfarne. Cuthbert followed and became prior, but had some difficulties managing the monks. He retreated to Farne Island (
c.676) but was, reluctantly, made bishop of part of Northumbria under Archbishop
Theodore (685). His seat was at Lindisfarne. He retired in 686 and died in 687, on Farne. In 698, in promotion of his cult, his remains, buried at Lindisfarne, were exhumed and enshrined, in which process they were found to be incorrupt, and for which the Lindisfarne Gospels may have been produced. Scandinavian pressure having caused the community to move, his coffin reached Durham in 995, where a new shrine was established in 1104. The 698 decorated coffin survives, in fragments, now displayed with his pectoral cross and some Anglo‐Saxon gifts to his shrine in the cathedral.
