Housing some of the most important relics from the Anglo Saxon and Medieval period. The stories about St. Cuthbert and the building of Durham Cathedral are placed in context when your group sees the original coffin in which Cuthbert's body lay. This is the coffin the Community of St. Cuthbert carried from Lindisfarne, eventually to Durham, to find a safe resting place for the saint.
The exhibition also houses some marvellous manuscripts and seals. See at first hand how the monks created such wonderful books. A replica of the Lindisfarne Gospels is also on permanent display.
If you've looked at the Sanctuary Knocker on the main North Door you will find the original here in the exhibition.
The Treasures of St. Cuthbert has great potential for an educational visit - for more information and advice on how to best use the exhibition with your group please contact the Education Officer.
