I did spend a lot of my time in St Peter Church as it is my main church when I was living in Sunderland. I keep closely connection with Ven Bede and spend great time with his spiritual guidance. We often have Celtic Prayer on Wednesday night. He also always in my heart and perhaps we are much more monastic kind of person. Both of share many things common together. Hope he would continue he continue to guide me spiritual life after St Curtbert. St Bede dress like a Buddhist Monks. He is very quiet person and had a very wise outlook ...very calm composure and talk when he got something wise to share. I think I knew where his actual tomb was. It is remain secrets to the public as same goes to St Cuthbert. Personally I still dont know where is the original tomb of St Cuthbert but someday I am sure he would reveal that to me. It do not matter as most important spiritual connection is more important than the psychical connection. Bede (/ˈbiːd/ beed; Old English: Bǣda or Bēda; 672/673 – 26 May 735), also referred to as Saint Bede or the Venerable Bede (Latin: Bēda Venerābilis), was an English monk at the monastery of Saint Peter at Monkwearmouth and its companion monastery, Saint Pauls, in modern Jarrow (see Monkwearmouth-Jarrow), Northeast England, both of which were located in the Kingdom of Northumbria. He is well known as an author and scholar, and his most famous work, Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (The Ecclesiastical History of the English People) gained him the title The Father of English History. In 1899, Bede was made a Doctor of the Church by Leo XIII, a position of theological significance; he is the only native of Great Britain to achieve this designation (Anselm of Canterbury, also a Doctor of the Church, was originally from Italy). Bede was moreover a skilled linguist and translator, and his work made the Latin and Greek writings of the early Church Fathers much more accessible to his fellow Anglo-Saxons, contributing significantly to English Christianity. Bedes monastery had access to a superb library which included works by Eusebius and Orosius, among many others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bede
