Monkwearmouth The monastery at Monkwearmouth was founded in 674 by Benedict Biscop. The lowest part of the tower and the west wall of the nave of the church you see today remains from that time. The rest of the church has been rebuilt since then, in the 13th, 14th, and 19th centuries. This page is maintained by IT and Communications Services at the University of Sunderland.
