We had a busy and enjoyable programme at The Bede Museum, Jarrow Hall, on 18th May. We started with a presentation to Dame Rosemary Cramp to celebrate her 90th birthday. Dr Eric Cambridge made the presentation of a piece of calligraphy, created by our Friend Susan Moor, on behalf of the Committee and members of the Friends of the World of Bede.
Dame Rosemary then introduced an enjoyable talk by Belinda Burke about her book ‘The Codex Amiatinus and its sister manuscripts’, published by the Friends of the World of Bede.
Hannah Russ gave us a fascinating talk about the dig at Coldingham, the many animal (but not fish) bones found, and the Anglo-Saxon date.
After lunch the programme included Jonathan Adams on ‘From Bede to Benedict’ and the Benedict Biscop Gregorian Choir. Very many thanks to all contributors.
