The Monk s of Lindisfarne fled from the Danes in 875 along with the ancient remains of Saint Cuthbert and there was no seat of the Bishop of Lindisfarne for seven years. In 882 Eardulf and his monks settled in Chester-le-Street and the seat of the Bishop of Lindisfarne was based here. BISHOPS OF LINDISFARNE IN CHESTER-LE-STREET
In 995 the King Of England had paid the Danegeld to the Danish and Norwegian Kings and peace was restored. Aldhun (the last Bishop of Lindisfarne) was on his way to reestablish the see at Lindisfarne when in a divine vision he received the message that the body of Saint Cuthbert should be laid to rest in Durham . From this point the see of Lindisfarne was amalgamated into Durham and the title renamed Bishop Of Durham . RESTORED CATHOLIC BISHOPS OF LINDISFARNE In 1970 the Catholic Church revived the title Bishop of Lindisfarne, assigning it as a Titular See with the Titular Bishop serving as an Auxiliary Bishop for the Archdiocese Of Westminster .
