St Paul's Monastery Jarrow,
Jarrow Monastery, Jarrow, Tyne and Wear
The ruins of the St Paul's Monastery Jarrow are now associated with the former
monastic church, which survives as the present-day church of St. Paul (MAP).
The Saxon-Norman nave collapsed and was replaced with a Victorian one, but the
Saxon chancel survives, with the oldest stained-glass window in the world, made
up of excavated fragments dating from about AD 600. Inside the church, cemented
into the wall of the tower, is the original stone slab recording the dedication
of the church on 23 April  AD 685. Other than the chancel of St Paul's Church,
none of the 7th century monastery survives above ground, but its layout is marked
out with stone slabs. The whole site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument managed
by English Heritage.
Free entry to all
St Paul's Monastery Jarrow is open all year round. The monastery ruins may
be viewed at any reasonable time Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, & Bank
