  Results from FactBites:
 
Lindisfarne Gospels (181 words)
The Lindisfarne Gospels are an illustrated Latin edition of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The Gospels are richly illustrated in the Celtic style, and were originally encased in a fine leather binding covered with jewels and metals made by Billfrith the Anchorite[?] in the 8th Century.
Recently, the Gospels were moved from their traditional location in Durham Cathedral (the bishopric under which Lindisfarne falls) to the British Library in London - a proceeding which has caused some controversy in the region.
Durham Cathedral - Durham, England (1814 words)
Durham Cathedral, in the city of Durham in northeast England, was founded in 1093 and remains a center for Christian worship today.
Durham Cathedral is notable not only for its pleasing Norman architecture, but also its sacred shrine of St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne and tomb of the Venerable Bede.
Durham was the first cathedral in Europe to be fitted with stone rib vaulting and it has the earliest pointed transverse arches in England.
