JARROW

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 276 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JARROW , a port and municipal borough in the Jarrow parliamentary division of
Durham
 , England, on the right bank of the Tyne, 62 m. below Newcastle, and on a branch of the North-Eastern railway. Pop. (1901), 34,295. The parish
church
  of St Paul was founded in 685, and retains portions of pre-Norman
work
 . The central tower is Norman, and there are good Decorated and Perpendicular details in the
body
  of the
church
 . Close by are the scattered ruins of the monastery begun by the pious Biscop in 681, and consecrated with the church by Ceolfrid in 685. Within the walls of this monastery the Venerable Bede spent his life from childhood; and his
body
  was at first buried within the church, whither, until it was removed under
Edward
  the Confessor to
Durham
 , it attracted many pilgrims. The town is wholly industrial, devoted to ship-building, chemical works,
paper
  mills and the neighbouring collieries. It owes its development from a mere pit
village
  very largely to the enterprise of Sir Charles Mark Palmer (q.v.). Jarrow Slake, a river bay, 1 m.
long
  by z m. broad, contains the Tyne docks of the North-Eastern railway company. A
great
  quantity of coal is shipped. Jarrow was incorporated in 1875, and the
corporation
  consists of a mayor, 6 aldermen and 18 councillors. Area, 783 acres.
