Bede Memorial Cross


The Bede Memorial Cross is located at the seafront in Cliff Park, Roker. It was built in 1904 by G.W. Millburn and C.C. Hodges, and dedicated to Venerable Bede and Eadfrith of Lindisfarne. The memorial includes extracts from Bede’s writing. The cross was removed in 1914, in the First World War, and restored to this site in 1921.[1] The memorial is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.[2]
