St Paul's Church, Jarrow
St Paul's Church, Jarrow, is a Church of England parish church in the Parish of Jarrow and Simonside. It was founded in 681 as a part of the Monkwearmouth–Jarrow Abbey. Most of the church is later but the chancel is the remains of a free-standing chapel of the original monastery. On an inner wall of the tower is a dedication stone dating to 23 April 685 making this one of, if not the oldest, church dedication stones in England. It is dedicated to St Paul on 15th year of King Ecgfrith and  in the 4th year of the Abbot Ceolfrith. The remains and markers for some of the later (medieval) abbey can be found in the church ground. The nave and the north aisle were built by Sir George Gilbert Scott. There is, in addition to the older windows, including a few pieces of Anglo-Saxon stained glass, a more modern window by John Piper (1903–92).The church also has on display "Bede’s Chair" (but evidence suggests that this originated after Bede's death).
