Bede's first abbot was Benedict Biscop, and the names " Biscop " and " Beda " both appear in a king list of the kings of Lindsey from around 800, further suggesting that Bede came from a noble family.

At the age of seven, he was sent to the monastery of Monkwearmouth by his family to be educated by Benedict Biscop and later by Ceolfrith.

Both Benedict Biscop and Ceolfrith had acquired books from the Continent, and in Bede's day the monastery was a renowned centre of learning.

* Benedict Biscop ( c 628 – 90 )

* Jarrow Priory is established by Benedict Biscop in the Kingdom of Northumbria.

* Monkwearmouth monastery founded by Benedict Biscop in the Kingdom of Northumbria.

The nobleman Benedict Biscop had visited Rome and headed the monastery at Canterbury in Kent and his twin-foundation Monkwearmouth-Jarrow Abbey added a direct Roman influence to Northumbrian culture, and produced figures such as Ceolfrith and Bede.

The Kentish court included a number of visiting clergymen at that time, including Benedict Biscop, a noted missionary.

Wilfrid left Kent for Rome in the company of Benedict Biscop, another of Eanflæd's contacts.

On the north side of the river, Monkwearmouth was settled in 674 when Benedict Biscop founded the Wearmouth-Jarrow monastery.

Recorded settlements at the mouth of the Wear date to 674, when an Anglo-Saxon nobleman, Benedict Biscop, granted land by King Ecgfrith of Northumbria, founded the Wearmouth-Jarrow ( St. Peter's ) monastery on the north bank of the river – an area that became known as Monkwearmouth.

He hosted Wilfrid and Benedict Biscop, and provided escorts to Archbishop Theodore and Abbot Adrian of Canterbury for their travels in Gaul.

Benedict Biscop ( c. 628 – 690 ) founded the monastery of Wearmouth-Jarrow and furnished it with books which he had taken home from a journey to Rome and which were later used by Bede ( c. 672 – 735 ) to write his Ecclesiastical History of the English People.

Both Benedict Biscop and Ceolfrith had acquired books from the Continent, and in Bede's day the monastery was a renowned centre of learning.

* Benedict Biscop

Very little is revealed about the period between the end of his days at Ripon, and his appointment under Benedict Biscop, except that he spent some time in the institutions of Abbot Botolph, whom he describes as being filled with " the grace of spirit ".

In 674, Benedict Biscop received a land grant from King Ecgfrith for the explicit purpose of erecting a monastery.

It is during the construction of the Wearmouth Monastery that Benedict Biscop sought out Ceolfrid, who would become " his most zealous assistant from the first foundation of the former monastery ", as well as a close friend.

In 690, Benedict Biscop died, after being bedridden for a lengthy period of time, and Ceolfrid became the leading head of both monasteries, " libraries of both monasteries, which Abbot Benedict had so actively begun, under his zealous care became doubled in extant ".

In another account, also attributed to Bede, in his Lives of the Abbots of Wearmouth, it is stated that Adrian was not made abbot till after the resignation of Benedict Biscop, who is made to have accompanied Theodore all the way from Rome, and to have been immediately on their arrival appointed to this place, which he appears to have held for about two years.
