In the News (Wed 3 Dec 08)

  
  Sunderland
The parliamentary borough of Sunderland comprehends the parish of Sunderland ; the townships of Bishop Wearmouth and Bishop Wearmouth Pans, on the south side of the river Wear, in Easington ward ; and the townships of Monk Wearmouth, Monk Wearmouth Shore, and Southwick, on the north side of the river, in Chester ward.
The first notice of South or Bishop Wearmouth is in a charter of Hugh Pudsey, bishop of Durham, towards the close of the twelfth century, recognising a borough in the parish, and granting privileges to the burgesses similar to those of the burgesses of Newcastle.
Monk Wearmouth is in the rural deanery of Chester ; Sunderland and Bishop Wearmouth in the rural deanery of Easington : all are in the archdeaconry and diocese of Durham.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Wearmouth Abbey
The founder brought workmen from France to build his church at Wearmouth in the Roman fashion and furnished it with glass windows (hitherto unknown in England), pictures, and service-books.
In 1545 "all the house and seite of the late cell of Wearmouth", valued at about £26 yearly, were granted by Henry VIII to Thomas Whitehead, a relative of Prior Whitehead of Durham, who resigned that monastery in 1540 and became the first Protestant dean.
Wearmouth passed afterwards to the Widdrington family, then to that of Fenwick.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Ceolfrid
He begged him from St. Wilfrid, and soon after reaching Wearmouth Ceolfrid was made prior of the monastery and left in charge during the absence of Benedict on his journeys to Rome.
He took with him seventeen monks from Wearmouth, and from an inscription formerly on the wall of the church we learn that the monastery was completed about 684 or 685.
He has conclusively proved that it was written at Wearmouth or Jarrow between the years 690 and 716; that it was one of the three copies of St. Jerome's Vulgate which Bede refers to in the passage quoted above; and that Ceolfrid presented the manuscript to the pope.

 Wearmouth Abbey
These two monasteries were so closely connected in their early history that they are often spoken of as one; but they were really six or seven miles apart.
The abbey was thus the cradle (as Bishop Hedley has said) not only of English art but of English literature, for the Venerable Bede received his early education there.
The remains of the monastic buildings were incorporated in a private mansion built in James I's reign; but this was burned down in 1790, and no trace is now visible of the monastery associated with the venerable names of Benedict Biscop, Ceolfrid, and Bede.

Actual facts, supported by historical evidence, are sadly thin on the ground and during the period of early Christianity in the Wearmouth area, it is the Monastery of St. Peter on the north side of the river which takes all the glory, so to speak, being well-documented.
One theory, not widely held, was that the name Bishopwearmouth in fact derived from "Bishop's Wearmouth", the land having been given to Biscop, the founder of St. Peter's, by King Aldfrith of Northumbria in return for gifts from Rome in the year 686.
There was a later grant, more likely to refer to the area known as South Wearmouth, to the Church of St. Cuthbert from King Egfrid; but he reigned from 830 to 846, nearly 200 years after Biscop.

 Wearmouth Jarrow: Facts
Benedict Biscop began St Peter's, Wearmouth, in around 674 and St Paul's, Jarrow in around 681, probably completing it in around 685 when the larger of the two churches was dedicated.
He then tells us that in 681 Ceolfrith and a small band of monks came to Jarrow to found St Paul's, but he does not say whether he was among that band of monks.
He calls himself 'priest of the monastery of St Peter and St Paul's which is at Wearmouth and Jarrow' and so clearly felt that he belonged to both places.

 Britannia Biographies: St. Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth
Here, he was well received by King Egfrith, to whom he gave a glowing account of the foreign monasteries and schools of learning and displayed the treasures that he had secured on his journey.
The King caught Benedict's enthusiasm and, in AD 674, gave him a tract of land where he might found a monastery; and here, in a short time, rose the walls of the monastery of St. Peter at Wearmouth, on the left bank of the river from which the spot takes its name.
On 12th January AD 689, he died as he had lived, surrounded by the brethren of the monasteries of his own creation, and was buried in the stone church that he had reared at Wearmouth, in the midst of the treasures that he had collected.

 John Houghton--Bede's Life
Bede's life was tied up with the history of the Northumbrian Abbeys of St. Peter at Wearmouth and St. Paul at Jarrow.
In a world where kings' halls were made of wood or reclaimed Roman ruins, Wearmouth already boasted a stone church--mortar built, in the continental manner, with stained-glass windows and imported paintings of the Blessed Virgin, the Apostles, and scenes from the Gospels and the Apocalypse.
With continuing royal patronage, the community was prosperous enough to begin the second house, at Jarrow, within a year or two of the time Bede entered, and it was there that Bede spent most of his life.
