St Peter's Church
Went to St Paul's Jarrow the day before so was expecting a pleasant experience here at one of its sister sites but there was opera playing on the speaker system, so not able to sit and reflect in the church in quiet. Also staff or other volunteers contradicting each other regarding the places I could access.

Beautiful church were bede lived from age of 7, wasn't open to public today but worth the visit, interesting history laid out in the grounds with dates and facts, ample parking and plenty of seats , ground even and good for the less able to use, quiet even though the road is nearby, also linked to St. Pauls in Jarrow.

7th century church. Amazing and beautiful building along a vast yard makes the place perfect for a rest with the family. There is a parking lot at the gates of the church yard.

Take a pleasant tour of what is possibly the oldest church in England AD674. The venerable Bede trained there as an eight year old. It contains a very detailed and ornate glass window. See photo. The closer you look the more details you can see. The church also has a nice cafe with very cheap prices. All within 5 minutes walk from the National Glass Centre, so could be a combined visit.

Although the body of the church, founded in the second half of the 7th century by Benedict Biscop and in which the manuscript now known as the Codex Amiatinus was made, has been changed in later centuries, the tower and western archway are just as they were when the Venerable Bede would have been a regular visitor to study in the monastic library around the year 700AD.

I was born in Sunderland and knew very little of the history in St Peter's church. I was treated to a personal tour by Eddie, a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic historian, who volunteers at the church.Very beautiful and interesting to visit.There is also a café which uses food grown in their own garden

This church is beautifully maintained and a guide through it is essential when visiting Sunderland as the history of the place is iconic. Gardens surrounding are also well maintained and peaceful for a walk around.

Mindblowingly important, largely neglected, lies in a semi-industrial wilderness, needs everyone's support.
