What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Lindisfarne Priory pre-Conquest monastery and post-Conquest Benedictine cell as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Lindisfarne Priory was founded in the 7th century by Saint Aidan, with the pre-Conquest monastery later developed by the Hilda and the Northumbrian church; it became a Benedictine cell after the Norman Conquest. The site is of major historical and religious significance as the center of early English Christianity and the location of the creation of the Lindisfarne Gospels.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
