Tilred of Lindisfarne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tilred of Lindisfarne (died 928) was Bishop of Lindisfarne between 915 and 928.
Prior to moving to Lindisfarne Tilred had been the abbot of Heversham in Cumbria. It has been surmised1 that Tilred dedicated the monastery at Heversham to St Cuthbert (the patron saint of Lindisfarne) at some point after 901 so that he may later be accepted into the monastery there. If this was the case it obviously appears to have worked.
Tilred probably transferred across to Lindisfarne due to a fear of Scandinavian settlers, who were appearing in the Heversham area at that time.
