Lindisfarne Heritage Centre Quilt and Saint Cuthbert display by Beausoleil

Excellent small museum tracing the island history with exhibits on the Vikings, the ancient Christian monks, the fishing industry and birding. There is a facsimile of the Lindisfarne Gospels and an interactive exhibit that lets you look through the Lindisfarne Gospels on a computer. (The actual Lindisfarne Gospel is in the British Museum if you want to see the original.)

Fenwick Lawson sculpture of Saint Cuthbert at Durham Museum and Heritage Centre by Beausoleil

The Durham Museum and Heritage Centre is housed in the former Saint-Mary-le-Bow Church. It is an overview of the history of Durham and a small but interesting museum hidden downhill behind the Cathedral. Be sure to check the garden as there are two wonderful statues by sculptor Fenwick Lawson. There is a bronze copy of the Saint Cuthbert statue at Lindisfarne.

Statues on the Durham Cathedral - interesting by Beausoleil

There is a very interesting story about how Saint Cuthbert’s final resting place was chosen. In 995 the monks were searching for a suitable site when they followed two milkmaids looking for a brown cow to a rocky peninsula in the River Dee. This was Dun Holme and the cathedral was built here to house Cuthbert’s shrine. The legend was portrayed in a stone carving described in 1593 as "a monument of a milk maid milking her cow … on the outside of the north-west turret of the cathedral." The one you see today is its replacement dating from 1775.
