Lindisfarne Gospels at the Laing - Map 2
I remember learning about the Lindisfarne Gospels when I was at school, and I’ve been fascinated and inspired by them ever since. As you can imagine I was delighted to be asked to make two illustrated maps for the Lindisfarne Gospels 2022 exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle.

This map needed to be fairly accurate and to show various points of interest, including the infamous “Vampire Rabbit” down by the cathedral.
