Catedral of Burham
history: The origin of Durham as a religious center dates back to the ancient diocese of Lindisfarne, established by Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne at the request of Saint Oswald of Northumbria around the year 635. The see remained in Durham until the year 664, when it was moved to York , although it was later reinstated in 678 by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The community of Lindisfarne was home to several future saints, such as St Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, Bishop of Lindisfarne from 685 until his death on the Farne Islands in 687, and who is instrumental in the later development of Durham Cathedral.10
The cathedral houses the shrine and various treasures relating to Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, a 7th-century saint, which were brought to Durham by Lindisfarne monks in the 9th century. The head of Saint Oswald of Northumbria and the remains of Bede the Venerable also rest there. In addition, his library contains one of the most complete sets of ancient printed books in England, the pre-Dissolution monastic accounts, and three copies of the Magna Carta.
Importan facts
In 2016 previous monastic buildings around the cloister, including the monks' dormitory and the prior's kitchen, were reopened to the public as the Open Treasury, an extensive exhibition showing the possessions and history of the cathedral. Architectural historian Dan Cruickshank selected the cathedral as one of his four choices for the The Lumiere festival was repeated in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017. In 2017 a new 'Open Treasury' exhibition area opened, featuring the 8th century wooden coffin of St Cuthbert, with its gold and garnet pectoral cross, a portable altar and an ivory comb.
