BBC Look North covers Jarrow Hall Anglo-Saxon Farm, Village and Bede Museum
BBC Look North covers Jarrow Hall Anglo Saxon Farm, Village and Bede Museum re-opening on Saturday 8 April.
Launch Day
Jarrow Hall launched on April 8th 2017, welcoming visitors to our Anglo-Saxon Farm, Village and Bede Museum.
A wide range of activities awaited, including archery, Anglo-Saxon crafts, the restoration of our Thirlings Hall using traditional skills, miniature Shetland pony rides, Murphy the wolfhound, birds of prey flying displays and traditional wool-spinning.
There were loads of things to do and all the visitors seemed to be having a lovely time. The whole day there was a lovely atmosphere, a quiet hum of conversation, children playing happily and everyone just plain enjoying themselves. Sarah Pape, Visitor
Jarrow Hall welcomes home the Codex Amiatinus Fascimile
On Monday 11th July 2016, The Bede Museum at Jarrow Hall welcomed home the Codex Amiatinus Fascimile.
In AD 2000 a perfect facsimile of the Codex was made for Monte Amiata, by Manuela Vestri and her firm, La Meta. The Friends of the World of Bede therefore decided to embark on a project to obtain another copy for the area where it was created.
Eventually permission was granted by the Italian authorities for one other facsimile to be made, and the considerable sum to purchase this was raised.
The Codex facsimile was installed in the Bede Museum by Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Tyne and Wear following a blessing at St Paul's Church in the 1300th anniversary year of its departure, for the enjoyment of all those interested in its religious, artistic and historical importance.

St Bede at Jarrow Hall
Conclusion to my discovery of the times and mind of the Venerable Bede
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.

Re-enactment Battle at Frontline Sedgefield: Comitatus Aquila.
We recently appeared at a local show, we combined with Acle, Vanguard and Dunholme in order to bring an English v.s. Scottish battle during the Anarchy and the reign of King Stephen.
This was the second day, it was very wet so we decided to lessen the armour we wore due to safety reasons. I was the English commander and Patrick was the Scottish commander, the English won on the Saturday and Sunday the Scottish won, which day did we film?
I stole the video from Vanguard and it was their girls filming it, the commentator was from Dunholme who did keep interupting me and Patrick which we weren't too pleased about. And I did royally fuck up a line early on over the mic! XD
