Trumbert
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trumbert was a monk of Jarrow, a disciple of St. Chad and later Bishop of Hexham.
He was educated at Lastingham by Ceadda, and was a teacher of Bede. He was the Bishop of the See of Hexham from 681 to 684 and was succeded by Eata.
[edit] Trumbert Shaft
The Trumbert Shaft is part of an inscribed sandstone grave cross found in the parish of Yarm, North Yorkshire in 1877. It bears the inscriptions in Latin and Old English:
| + [orate] PRO [tru]MBERENCT + SAC+ ALLA + |
| SIGNUM AEFTER HIS BREODERA YSETAE |
Which translates as:
| Pray for Trumberhet, Bishop |
| Alla set up this memorial to his brother |
The shaft now resides in the library of Durham Cathedral and it is assumed that Trumbert is buried within the churchyard of Yarm Parish Church.
