Jarrow is home to St Paul's Church, founded in 681, where a dedication stone dated 23 April 685 is still in place above the chancel arch — one of the oldest of its kind in England.
The monastery where Bede lived
St Paul's was part of the twin monastery of Monkwearmouth–Jarrow. The scholar Bede was educated there from the age of seven and spent most of his life at the monastery, almost certainly worshipping in the oldest part of the church.
A library that shaped English writing
The monastery's library, assembled by Benedict Biscop on his travels to Rome, helped make it a centre of English art and literature, and Bede's writings assured its reputation in the 8th century.
