Hexham Abbey. The Frith Stool
May date from 674 when Wilfred founded the Monastery in 674. Hexham was a cathedral between 678 and 821 and during that period may have been the Bishop’s seat.
'Frith’ - Anglo- Saxon for ‘peace, security and safety, the frith stool being the most protective for anyone seeking church sanctuary.
