Saint Cuthbert: Life & Legacy

Mar 13, 2016 11:00
Chisholme House, Scottish Borders TD9 7PH

 

A talk by author Katharine Tiernan

Katharine will speak about the life of St. Cuthbert, with readings from the Venerable Bede, and extracts from her new book:

Place of Repose: a tale of Saint Cuthbert’s last journey

In 875 the monks of Lindisfarne fled the marauding Danes, taking with them their most prized possessions: Cuthbert’s relics and the Lindisfarne Gospels. This fascinating historical novel tells the story of the monks’ seven-year quest for a safe haven for their treasures.

Katharine will also consider the subsequent history of The Saint of the North and why he matters to us today.

Admission free. Donations welcome

Later this year she will lead a five-day lecture tour, sponsored by the Beshara Trust, tracing the saint’s life on Lindisfarne, the Farne Islands and his final journey to Durham.
There are few places left.  Please phone: 880 215 to reserve a spot, or email:  secretary@chisholme.org

Katharine Tiernan has worked as an English teacher, arts administrator, shiatsu practitioner and carer. A Northumbrian from childhood, she now lives by the sea in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
