Jarrow is a special place in the history of the English speaking world for no other place is more closely associated with Bede, the man who first recorded the history of the English people. Jarrow was the place where Bede shone as a light of learning in an otherwise dark period of history – an era about which we would know much less if it were not ...
Bede’s lack of travel would not deter his thirst for learning and if he sounds a rather parochial figure it should be remembered that Wearmouth and Jarrow were then great centres of wealth, culture and learning and there was nothing to compare with them within these isles. They were home to works of Roman and European art, to stained glass (then al...
Seven years after the monastery at Wearmouth was established, a second, twin monastery was founded by Biscop. Like Wearmouth, it was located close to the mouth of a river. This time the river in question was the River Don which entered the Tyne at Jarrow after skirting its way around or through the wide estuarine-like basin of Jarrow Slake. The sla...
Whatever its early roots, in Anglo-Saxon times Jarrow was also sometimes referred to as Donaemuth (Don mouth) and it was here in the 682AD that the monks of Wearmouth employed masons from France to build their second monastery. Once again the land, this time consisting of 40 hides, was a gift from the King, Ecgfrith. Construction of the building wa...
Much of the stone for the building of the monastery at Jarrow is thought to have been acquired from a neighbouring Roman site, most likely the abandoned Roman fort of Arbeiaat South Shields, though there have been suggestions that there may have been some kind of existing Roman site at Jarrow. In 1866 two inscribed Roman stones were found during re...
Bede entered the monastery of St Peter at Wearmouth when he was seven years old. He is likely to have come from a well off background. Bede is a rare Anglo-Saxon name though a king of Lindsey (the island kingdom of Lincolnshire) had been called Bede. Rather curiously this king was succeeded by a king called Biscop. They are of course a different Be...
Through the library Bede became familiar with classical works such as that of Pliny and he developed keen skills, talents and knowledge in cosmology, history, chronology, calligraphy, story-telling, grammar, poetry, science, scripture, theology, singing, music and linguistics. Bede could speak fluent Greek and Latin as well as his native Northumbri...
Bede died at Jarrow on May 25, 735 AD aged about 62 and many historians since have lamented his loss. For several centuries succeeding his death, reliable sources of history were often scant. Much of what we know of later periods comes from the hand of a few Anglo-Saxon chroniclers. In addition to his talent for learning Bede was a great teacher an...
In 794 AD, just over sixty years after the death of St Bede, Jarrow would also become a victim of one of the earliest Viking raids on mainland Britain. Biscop’s sacred monastery was severely burnt by the Vikings, though the Viking leader was caught by the local Anglo-Saxons and he was put to death. In their attempt to flee from the monastery, the r...
It was during the Norman period that the monastery at Jarrow experienced a new revival when it was re-established. In 1074 a Mercian monk called Aldwin (of Winchcome in Gloucestershire) who had been reading Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People was inspired by what he had read and arrived at Monkchester (Newcastle)to explore. He hoped...
