Abbaye de Wearmouth-Jarrow

L’abbaye de Wearmouth-Jarrow, ou de Monkwearmouth-Jarrow, est une abbaye bénédictine, composée de deux monastères jumeaux, fondés en Northumbrie par Benoît Biscop, l’un en 674, l’autre en 682. Bien que ces monastères soient distants d'une dizaine de kilomètres, leur histoire est si étroitement liée qu’on associe le plus souvent leurs noms. Tous deux sont des monastères d’hommes : il ne s’agit donc pas d’un monastère double. Bède le Vénérable (figure illustre de Jarrow) en parle comme de « monastères jumeaux pour hommes ».

All Saints' Church, Monkwearmouth

All Saints' Church is a church in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, England. A parish of All Saints was formed in 1844 when it became clear that there was no longer enough room in the only parish church for Monkwearmouth (St Peter's), and a church for the new parish was completed and consecrated in 1849. One of its vicars was Alexander Boddy, and so All Saints' became known as the birthplace of modern British Pentecostalism. All Saints' is now again part of the parish of Monkwearmouth.
