Story of St Bede

Born in 672 CE at Jarrow, at an early age, Bede was entrusted to the care of the abbot of the Monastery of St. Paul, Jarrow where he became a saint and extraordinary scholar.

Bede wrote 45 books, most notably “Ecclesiastical History of the English People,” earning him the title “The Father of English History.” Despite being sought after, Bede remained in his own Monastery until his death in 735 CE.
