Description

St Cuthbert of Durham is a lavishly illustrated history that guides readers through the life, work and legacy of one of Northern England's most beloved saints. Born in the early seventh century, St Cuthbert lived during an exciting and mysterious time in Northumbria, serving as prior and bishop at various locations including Melrose, Ripon, and Lindisfarne.

From his connections with the Lammermuir Hills to his prophesied Viking invasion, St Cuthbert's life was marked by significant events that shaped the course of history. His cult following was as great as that of Thomas Becket, and his legacy continues to be celebrated today through the magnificent Durham Cathedral, now a World Heritage Site.

This book, written by Philip Nixon, explores the scenery and architecture that formed the backdrop to St Cuthbert's life, work and legacy. With its rich historical context and stunning photographs, it is an ideal choice for anyone interested in the history of Northumbria or the life of this remarkable saint.
