Jarrow Hall

Jarrow Hall is an exciting and highly significant heritage site. With the Bede Museum, it is a ‘living Anglo-Saxon Village’ containing several houses and the replica Mead Hall, each showing traditional building techniques and clustered near the early Christian St Paul’s Church, built of recycled Roman bricks on a Roman site. The Demonstration Farm has several rare breeds and exhibits day-to-day life in rural Anglo-Saxon times. Vegetable and herb gardens complement the livestock farming. The whole resource provides unrivalled opportunities to discover how St Bede lived, worked and contributed to Anglo-Saxon society and British history. The education programmes offered are of consistently high quality and designed to help develop an understanding of Anglo-Saxon life through exploring the site itself, architecture, decoration, authentic and replica artefacts through a wide range of practical activities.
