Comment on Lindisfarne Gospels
Actually a comment on the Island. There are currently 7 children in the school, not two as stated on your site, with another one starting in September

Comment on Lindisfarne Gospels
This extraordinarily beautiful illustrated work is a symbol of major importance to the North of England. It is currently illegally held in London by the British Museum and once it is returned to its rightful home in Durham Cathedral (another great icon) it can become the centrepiece of norhern pride, rather than just another London exhibit.

Comment on Lindisfarne Gospels
To Mike Painter of York.......why would we want our 'Gospels' to be kept at York??? If they ever do return to the north; why would we want them to stop at York, which, as every Northumbrian knows, is only 'middling north' at best! I say let's keep them in Lindisfarne Castle. Then the full majesty of the scene would be a fitting back-drop for the Gospels.
