Sinopsis
Excerpt from Ecclesiological Notes on Some of the Islands of Scotland, Etc
Farne; Northumberland. - This, also called House Island, is the largest of the Farne group. As lying but a short way out, it can be easily visited from any neighbouring place on the Opposite mainland, the most convenient being Monkhouse, south-of Bamborough a mile or two. Readily procuring a boat at that place, and favoured by the weather, I was in no time - as my boatmen had engaged it should be - put ashore on what was, long centuries ago, the beloved home of the saintly Cuthbert. Of course all material traces of the devout hermit - his unfashioned oratory and unfurnished cell, rudely built Of unhewn stone and turf, and as rudely roofed with deal and bent - have long since passed away but respect for his memory, and reverential regard for the scene of his austerities and death, led in later times to the erection of two religious houses, one of which, the chapel of St. Mary, has nearly disappeared; but the other, measuring about forty feet in length, and of second-pointed character, still exists. Externally, it has a very homely aspect, and presents no detail more than three pointed two-light windows - two of them restorations - and an ogee-headed doorway in the south wall, and a three-light window, with tracery in the head, in the east end. By the introduction, in 1848, of oak benches and a range of Old carved oak stalls on each side, the interior has a very handsome church-like appearance.
