THE journey that saved the land’s most powerful saint and one of the world’s most beautiful and important books feature in a new exhibition.
Acclaimed writer Richard W Hardwick and award-winning photographer Paul Alexander Knox researched the Gospels’ journey and the history around it before travelling the whole route last Easter.
Together, they recorded the landscape, describing how it looks today and imagining how it must have been for the monks in the 9th Century.
The work has now gone on display at Middlesbrough Central library as part of the Lindisfarne Gospels Durham Exhibition.
As well as the exhibition, two workshops will take place, the first on Monday, February 17 and the next on Monday 24.
Julie Tweedy, resources manager for Middlesbrough Libraries, said: “We are thrilled to host the exhibition and workshops in our own historic reference library.
“We are hoping that these will be of interest to the local community as well as historians, photographers and writers.”
For more information about the exhibition and workshops call 01642-729001. Booking is essential for the workshops.
The exhibition will run until Wednesday, March 5.
