Jarrow Hall is a museum in Jarrow, South Tyneside, England. Formerly called Bede’s World the museum celebrates the life of the Venerable Bede; who was a monk, author and scholar who was dubbed the “Father of English History” lived in at the Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Wearmouth-Jarrow. The Abbey was a center of learning until it was sacked by the Vikings in the 9th century.

The museum has archaeological findsand details his life, and there is also a recreation of an Anglo-Saxon farm and village that sends you back to Northumbria in the centuries before the Norman Conquest.

The farm is also an animal sanctuary, home to 70 rare domestic breeds.
