Lindisfarne (Holy Island) is a small island off the coast of Northumbria south of Berwick‐on‐Tweed. It is connected to the mainland by a causeway which is inaccessible at high tide. It was the seat of sixteen bishops from 635 to 883, the most famous of them being St
Aidan, who was brought from
Iona by
Oswald to Christianize the north, and later St
Cuthbert, who took charge of the Romanized see after the Synod of
Whitby. After the island had been ravaged in the 8th and 9th cents. by Vikings, the religious community removed to seek a new sanctuary, eventually settling at Durham.
