==Early Life==

Little is known of Bede's childhood, and nothing is known of his parents other than he was living on land belonging to the newly founded Monastery of St. Peter, based in Wearmouth. At age seven, Bede was entrusted to the care of the Abbot St. Benedict Biscop. By 685, he was moved to Biscop’s newer Monastery of St. Paul at Jarrow. He spent the rest of his life as a monk at Jarrow, first being taught and then teaching monastic rule. He was ordained as a deacon at age 19 and a priest at age 30 by Saint John of Beverley in 702. <ref>[http://europeanhistory.about.com/od/ukandireland/p/prbede.htm Bede] About.com</ref>

 

Little is known of Bede's childhood, and nothing is known of his parents other than he was living on land belonging to the newly founded Monastery of St. Peter, based in Wearmouth. He is believed to have been born at Monkton, [[South Tyneside]], north-east [[England]] - then part of the kingdom of [[Northumbria]]<ref>http://www.visitsunderland.com/history_and_heritage/stpeters.html</ref>. At age seven, Bede was entrusted to the care of the Abbot St. Benedict Biscop. By 685, he was moved to Biscop’s newer Monastery of St. Paul at Jarrow<ref>http://www.bedesworld.co.uk/bedesworld-monastic.php</ref>, a few miles to the north on the [[River Tyne]]. He spent the rest of his life as a monk at Jarrow, first being taught and then teaching monastic rule. Original stonework from both monasteries still exists, as part of later medieval church buildings, and Monkwearmouth-Jarrow has been approved as a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]].
