With many thanks to Julie Milne, Chief Curator of the  Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne for her time and most enjoyable tour of the Lindisfarne Gospels exhibition. You can see them until 3rd December at https://laingartgallery.org.uk/whats-on/lindisfarne-gospels   Also thanks to all the unsuspecting souls we shoved a microphone visiting the Angel of the North.
