歷史學上,他在703年完成《De temporibus》(英文:On Time),是一部較短的編年史。接著他在725年完成一部稍長的編年史《De tenoirum ratione》(英文:On the Reckoning of Time)。他最重要的著作,《英吉利教會史》(Ecclesiastical History of the English People)分為五卷,於731至732年間寫成,從主前55-54年被羅馬征服開始,追溯英國的歷史,直到731年為止。
值得一提的是,該書編年法按耶穌基督降生的那一年,區分為主前(Before Christ,B.C.)與主後(Anno Domini,A.D.)。由於《英吉利教會史》的普及,使得 A.D. 成為主後通用的縮寫。
