Cuthbert Dreaming In The Fields From A Picture By George Wetherbee. Editorial Image

Cuthbert was an Anglo-Saxon saint of the early Northumbrian church in the Celtic tradition. He was a monk bishop and hermit associated with the monasteries of Melrose and Lindisfarne in what might loosely be termed the Kingdom of Northumbria in North East England and the South East of Scotland. St Cuthbert would become one of medieval England's most famous people and one of her most significant saints. He spent just over eight years of his life on Inner Farne where he found the closeness and communion with God he so longed for. He died on Inner Farne in 687.
