Tidfrith of Hexham
Tidfrith or Tidferth was an early 9th-century Northumbriah prelate. Said to have died on his way to Rome, he is the last known Anglo-Saxon bishop of Hexham. This bishopric, like the bishopric of Whithorn, probably ceased to exist, and was probably taken over by the authority of the bishopric of Lindisfarne. A runic inscription on a standing cross found in the cemetery of the church of Monkwearmouth is thought to bear his name.
==Dates==
The dates of his episcopate are unclear, but Richard of Hexham says that he died 54 years before the great Scandinavian invasion in 875, a claim which if specifically true would mean his episcopate was over by either 821 or 822.〔Raine (ed.), ''Priory of Hexham'', p. xl, 42, note m〕
It is uncertain when he was born or when he gained office. Surviving lists of Hexham bishops give Tidfrith's predecessors Heardred and Eanberht three years and thirteen years respectively.〔Raine (ed.), ''Priory of Hexham'', p. 42〕 As Heardred's consecration as bishop can be synchronised with the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' entry for 797〔Whitelock (ed.), ''English Historical Documents'', p. 183; recension F gives 798, see ''loc'' cit.'' n. 1〕—assuming both sources to be accurate on the point—Tidfrith became bishop c. 813.〔E.g. Fryde et al, ''Handbook'', p. 217〕 However, the date is also sometimes given as 806.〔As in Raine (ed.), ''Priory of Hexham'', vol. i, p. 42〕
According to a tradition preserved in Richard of Hexham, Tidfrith died on his way to Rome.〔Raine (ed.), ''Priory of Hexham'', pp. xl, 44–45〕 There is an engraved stone, discovered in the 19th-century in the cemetery of Wearmouth, which has the name "Tidfrith" in runic characters; it may be in reference to the bishop, as Wearmouth was in the diocese.〔Aird, ''St Cuthbert'', p. 36; Raine (ed.), ''Priory of Hexham'', p. xl〕 Historian James Raine suggested that his death may have occurred there,waiting to take a ship from the mouth of the river Wear.〔Raine (ed.), ''Priory of Hexham'', p. xl〕
