From its earliest foundations in Anglo-Saxon times, Sunderland has grown and prospered on the banks of the River Wear. It is a city and port in the City of Sunderland metropolitan borough, in the county of Tyne and Wear in North East England.
The city's history and culture took shape due to its connection to the sea, its industries and endeavour of its people. The city's emergence as a focus for learning and industry began in Anglo-Saxon times when the nobleman Benedict Biscop - recently named as Sunderland's patron saint - established a European centre of learning at the twin monastic settlement of St Peter's and St Paul's. It was here that the Venerable Bede wrote the first history of England, the art of glass-making was introduced to the UK, and where the renowned Saxon Bible, the Codex Amiatinus, was produced. By the year 1500, Sunderland was one of the wealthiest towns in England and to this day it is still the largest city by population between Leeds and Edinburgh.
