About Fencing in Jarrow

Jarrow on the River Tyne is home to the remains of St Paul's Monastery, founded around 681 AD by Benedict Biscop, who had travelled to Rome and returned determined to build an important centre of Christian learning in England. The monastery's most famous resident was the Venerable Bede, a monk there from the age of seven until his death in 735, who wrote more than 60 works during his lifetime, including the Ecclesiastical History of the English People, regarded as the first history of the English people ever written. The monastery was burnt by Viking raiders in 794, one of the earliest such raids recorded on mainland Britain, and sacked again more seriously in 875, leaving it in ruins until after the Norman Conquest. Jarrow's more recent history is defined by shipbuilding and by the Jarrow March of 1936, when unemployed workers walked from the town to London to protest the economic hardship following the closure of its shipyard.
