The Triptych here is composed of three scenes based on a late 12th Century illuminated version of the Life of St.Cuthbert with the rather covulted name of the Yates Thompson MS 26 in the British Library.The central image is usually identified as the Venerable Bede, the author of text, at work in the scriptorium.The right hand image (facing), is entitled St.Cuthbert meets King Ecgfrith of Northumbria, and the left depicts one of St.Cuthbert's many sea journeys, in this image with two fellow travellers. Like the medieval originals, this triptych's outer panels fold shut to protect the painted images when transported.
