The
church of Durham,
founded in 995, claimed in the Middle Ages to be in origin the church
of
Lindisfarne or Holy Island, the members of which had fled in the face
of
Viking raids and had wandered for long across northern England, before
re-establishing their church at Chester-le-Street in Co. Durham and
then
at Durham itself. The text edited and translated here for the first
time
for over a century is the most complete and detailed account of the
history
of that church. Important as a piece of early post-Conquest
historiography
by an author about whom much is now known, the text is fascinating for
the details it gives about the ecclesiastical community of Durham, the
miracles which its members believed had occurred, and the place of the
church of Durham in relation to the lands a secular inhabitants of
northern
England.
