St Paul's Church

St. Paul’s Church, part of the historic Bede Abbey in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear, is a remarkable site of early Christian heritage. Founded in AD 681, this ancient church is closely linked to the Venerable Bede, one of England’s greatest scholars and the "Father of English History." Visitors can explore the original 7th-century chancel and see the Saxon dedication stone, a testament to its enduring legacy. Adjacent to the church, the ruins of the abbey and the modern Bede Museum provide a deeper insight into the monastic life and scholarly achievements of the time. St. Paul’s Church is a must-visit destination for history lovers and pilgrims.
