Trumbert (or Tunberht or Tunbeorht) was a monk of Jarrow, a disciple of Chad and later Bishop of Hexham.
Trumbert was educated at Lastingham by Chad, and was a teacher of Bede. [1] He was the bishop of the see of Hexham from 681 until he was deposed in 684 and was succeeded by Eata. [2] He had previously been a monk at Ripon under Wilfrid. After his deposition, he became abbot at Gilling Abbey in north Yorkshire. [3] He was the brother of Ceolfrith, who was abbot of Jarrow while Bede was a monk at Jarrow. [3]
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.
