The [[monastery]] of Lindisfarne was founded by St. [[Aidan of Lindisfarne]], who had been sent from [[Iona]], off the west coast of Scotland to Northumbria at the request of King St. [[Oswald of Northumbria]] around 635 A.D.  It became the base for Christian evangelism in the North of England, and also sent a successful mission to Mercia.  Monks from the community of [[Iona]] settled on the island.
