Bede Museum

Bede Museum, part of Jarrow Hall in South Tyneside, tells the story of Bede and the Anglo-Saxon monastery of Wearmouth-Jarrow. Inside you'll find Europe's largest collection of 7th and 8th century coloured glass, unique Anglo-Saxon stonework, the Abbadia Reliquary, and a full-sized reproduction of the Codex Amiatinus, the oldest complete Latin Bible in existence. You can also explore artefacts online through interactive 3D models or the museum's catalogue. It suits history enthusiasts, families and school groups alike, with a young curators project adding fresh interpretations to the collection. With Brockley Whins station 1.7 miles away and Littlehaven Beach 2.6 miles away, and 53 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's a convenient stop for a South Tyneside break.
