I think the venerable Bede was buried here also. Can anyone confirm? Mr. Jones 16:34, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Yes
Quote from the front page of the Cathedral's website http://www.durhamcathedral.co.uk/ "It contains the remains of Cuthbert, the saintly seventh-century bishop of Lindisfarne; it also holds the tomb of Bede, the chronicler of Cuthbert's life and the first English historian".
- Bede's tomb is at the west end of the cathedral, in the Galilee Chapel. Cuthbert's tomb is in a special sanctuary between the high altar and the easternmost chapel, the Chapel of the Nine Altars. Gareth Hughes 13:01, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] No
No-one knows where Bede's remains are, the tomb is empty.

[edit] Dan Cruikshank
Dan Cruikshank argued in "Britain's Best Buildings" that the essential features of Gothic architecture were pioneered at Durham, not (as in the traditional account) at St Denis, and that Muslim craftsman may have been involved in its construction. We should find room for these arguments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.103.184 (talk) 00:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
