The iconic Lindisfarne Gospels will be returning to their homeland with a display at The Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle from 17 September until 3 December 2022.
To mark and celebrate this occasion, a challenging 130 mile journey will be undertaken with pilgrims carrying a replica of St Cuthbert’s Coffin containing facsimiles of the Lindisfarne Gospels and Cuthbert’s Gospel of John from the River Tees to Lindisfarne itself.
The pilgrims will be stopping in Alnmouth Tuesday 20th September around 5.30 pm and the coffin will be in the church
overnight.
There is a core team of seven coffin-bearers / gospel carriers. Others are welcome to join the pilgrimage walk with the group and there are three joining points across each day.
