| Jake Todhunter age 10 | Darlington | County Durham | England |
| I am about to visit Holy Island on friday 12th june 2009 and we were asked to do some research... and i actually found the meaning of lindisfarne.
Lindis= river farne=retreat ED: That's a really close result, Jake. Well done, the Lindis is now called the Low, and is the river you will be crossing when you visit the Island. I am not sure what Lindis means but a Scandinavian visitor told me that it might be the name of or for a small peninsular in Norway where our Vikings came from. | 09/6/09 | ||

| Val Francis | Glenrothes | Fife | Scotland |
| Visited the island on wed 20th may to find the castle closed. causeway opened 3.10 so why wasn't castle opened to suit visitors coming over at that time and save disappointment.

| Hi, I have some questions regarding the birds in Holy Island and thought Ian Kerr would be the best person to ask.

| The Web-site, Ezine & Parish Magazine keep one well in touch - thanks for these! Is it time St. Mary's web contribution was updated to include Fr. Damian as David Adam is no longer Vicar? Glad to see the Village Hall fund is growing. ED: We have had a webpage and website prepared for a number of years but await PCC approval before publishing. | 31/3/09 | ||
| David Darling | Newcastle Upon Tyne | England | |
| Ever thought of bringing the Gospels back?
Stupid question normally, but after the announcement of the 3 months in 7 years by The British Museum is it a possibility?
No doubt there might have been attempts over the years but all I'm asking is, is it a possibility?.
Why should they go to Durham?
Thanks.
Dave. ED: We do not have the resources (buildings, air conditioning, security etc..) on the Island to cope with the most valuable book in the country. It is best looked after in a Museum. And in Northumbria where better than north of the Tynne - Newcastle! | 27/3/09 | ||
