Lindisfarne Priory 
St Aidan was sent to Holy Island from Iona in order to proselytize the people of Northumbria, and built a small monastery on the island. After the Danes' invasion the monks fled with the remains of St Cuthbert, sixth bishop here, and in 1093 a new Benedictine priory was founded at Lindisfarne. Only a few remains are left of the original fine church, the present building showing for the most part late Norman features (1140-50)
The sacking of Lindisfarne heralded the beginning of the Viking Age.
