Adtwifyrdi or Adtuifyrdi ("at the two fords") is the name used by the Venerable Bede believed to describe the meeting of river and tributary at the mouth of the River Aln at Alnmouth. Here, according to Bede's account in Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, Book IV, ch. 28, Archbishop Theodore presided over a synod in 684 (in the presence of King Ecgfrith of Northumbria), at which bishop Tunberht of Hexham was deposed and St Cuthbert elected Bishop of Lindisfarne
