Bede's World

Bede's World celebrates the extraordinary life of the Venerable Bede (AD673-735), early Europe’s greatest scholar, who lived and worked at the monastery of Wearmouth-Jarrow 1300 years ago. Bede’s World acts as one of the gateways to the inspirational site of Wearmouth-Jarrow, by taking visitors on journey through Bede’s Northumbria. The museums' stunning ‘Age of Bede’ exhibition displays finds excavated from the site of St Paul’s monastery, including the largest collection of some of the earliest coloured window glass from Western Europe, which dates back to the late 7th and early 8th century. The site’s Anglo-Saxon demonstration farm recreates aspects of landscape familiar to Bede around AD 700 with experimental reconstructed timber buildings, rare breeds of animals and early variety of crops and vegetables. Throughout the year, the museum offers a fantastic variety of events, exhibitions and activities to suit all ages and interests.
