Bronze statue of the Venerable Bede unveiled A bronze statue of the Venerable Bede was unveiled this week, as part of the countdown to the Lindisfarne Gospels exhibition. The statue, a casting of internationally-renowned sculptor Fenwick Lawson's work, the "Young Bede" or the "Beda Bede", has been installed at the entrance to Durham University's Palace Green Library, just yards from the saint's tomb in Durham Cathedral. Palace Green Library, on Durham's World Heritage site, is the venue for the Lindisfarne Gospels exhibition, which opens on July 1 and runs until September 30. The original Young Bede was carved from a 150-year old chestnut tree which grew in the precincts of Durham Cathedral and now stands in the entrance lobby of the Pontifical Beda College in Rome.
