England 2019 Episode 17: Jarrow

In Jarrow are the ruins of St Paul’s Monastery, the actual monastery where the Venerable Bede lived and worked. The ruined monastery walls are mostly medieval (11th - 14th c.) but portions of the adjoining church were actually part of the original 7th c. Anglo-Saxon monastery. For example, in the first view of the church building, the tiny windows on the right side are part of the Anglo-Saxon structure. Bede is best known for his “Ecclesiastical History of the English People,” a source vital to our understanding of early English history and the conversion of the Anglo-Saxon tribes to Christianity. Nearby, Jarrow Hall is a small reconstructed Anglo-Saxon village plus a museum on Bede and his times. The exhibition explains the importance of farming to the Anglo-Saxon community 1300 years ago, and includes rare, period-correct breeds such as curly-coated pigs, Dexter bullocks, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens and more. The village includes several replica wattle-and-daub and timber-frame buildings based on actual excavated Anglo-Saxon structures in the region. The thatched triangular Grubenhaus served multiple functions including grain storage and sleeping accommodations. The larger Anglo-Saxon Hall represents the main space where everyone gathered for feasts and meetings. The Monastic Workshop is the small square hut used for study and prayer. The Bede Museum includes 7th - 8th c. colored glass, stonework, and other artifacts, along with exhibits on the beginnings of the Anglo-Saxon period and the life of the Venerable Bede. Outside, there was even a children's play area with a viking ship that one particularly big kid seemed to enjoy.
