Village of Jarrow is a settlement in County Durham with documented medieval origins. The village is historically significant as the location of Jarrow Hall, a monastic foundation established in the late seventh century as a daughter house of Monkwearmouth, and closely associated with the Venerable Bede, the Anglo-Saxon scholar and historian who spent much of his life there. The monastery was an important centre of learning and manuscript production during the early medieval period until its destruction during the Viking raids of the ninth century. The modern village retains the layout and character of a medieval settlement, with its church representing a continuity of religious use on or near the site of the original monastic foundation.
