The ultimate Northumbrian (and indeed English) holy man who started life as a Scot in Melrose (in a predecessor of the later great  Cistercian Abbey of Melrose) and later became Bishop of Lindisfarne, based at the  priory on the island founded by Aidan.  Happiest as a recluse, his stature and management skills rarely allowed this.  His shrine (reduced to tomb slab post Henry VIII) in    Durham Cathedral was for a few hundred years  pre Becket the richest and  most visited shrine in England.
