St Paul's Church, Jarrow

St. Paul's is a living church, the parish church of Jarrow, which visitors are welcome to explore. The chancel is a direct survival from the 7th century when it was a free-standing chapel in the monastery. Inside the church, cemented into the wall of the tower, is the original stone slab which records in a Latin inscription the dedication of the church on 23 April AD 685.
