Numiko to redevelop Anglo-Saxon monasteries website
The website for the twin Anglo-Saxon monastery of St Peter’s in Wearmouth, Sunderland and St Paul’s in Jarrow is to be redeveloped.
The project will be handled by Numiko and will feature 3D virtual experiences while also giving users an insight into the livers of monks that lived at the monasteries, along with interactive maps of Benedict Biscop’s travels, an image gallery of relics and learning resources for schools.
The monastery is currently nominated for World Heritage Site status next year, a role the site will play a part in.
Darren Navier, creative director of Numiko, commented: “It’s an exciting opportunity for us to get involved in the largest project and support the drive for the site to gain World Heritage status.”
