  • Scottish Society at the Time of William Wallace

    Scottish Society at the Time of William Wallace

    46 Scottish Society at the time of William Wallace That the Scots were identified as separate people by the late tenth and early eleventh century can be seen from the chronicles of Durham which record their passage and both successful and failed attempts at conquest. I Whether they were independent or vassal kings was not a matter of major significance at the time. Some of them looked to England for support. Malcolm Canmore in 1072 was forced to submit to William the Conqueror at Abernethy. This did not stop him raiding southwards later. His son Edgar said in a charter that he was king "by the grant of my lord, William, king of the English and by paternal inheritance"2 and he bore a sword at William Rufus's coronation. Henry I took to wife a Scottish princess. Later kings of Scotland took English queens. The Scottish kings did homage to the English for English lands such as the earldom of Huntingdon, but then the English kings did homage to the French for some of the lands they held in France.3 More interesting perhaps is the question 'What was Scotland in Wallace's time?' It was an area which lacked the cultural homogeneity of Ireland or Wales. The Islands and the West Coast were part of the Scandinavian kingdom down to 1100, spoke Norse and used Odal law. The kingdom ruled by the descendants of Kenneth MacApline (died c.858) who called themselves kings of the Scots, which had held sway over Gaels and Picts in the west, had by Wallace's time spread to the south and east which was 'English' speaking.
  • Breamish Valley War Memorial Project

    Breamish Valley War Memorial Project

    Breamish Valley War Memorial Project I MOVED TO POWBURN eight years ago and often wondered why there was a lack of war memorials in the area. I mistakenly assumed that no one from the Breamish Valley had died in military service. However, recently, I began some research on men from the area who fought in the two world wars and, to my amazement, found that at least 25 men had died in WW1 and six in WW2. Of the 31, I currently know that seven have their names on war memorials outside the area, 20 are mentioned in Rolls of Honour in Ingram, Branton and Whittingham churches, one has a memorial window at Ingram Church and others have no known memorials. There is no local public memorial for these men. I would like to remedy this. With the backing of Hedgeley Parish Council, I have set up a project to build a war memorial within Powburn, commemorating men and women from the services who have died in any conflict. This will not happen overnight and a lot of work needs to be done: the most important of which is to ensure that everyone is remembered. This type of research is very new to me and I am concerned that we do not miss anyone. I know that with further investigation more names will be added. Over the page I have listed all the names that I have with their regiment, area they came from and date of death. I would appeal to all readers to contact me via [email protected] if they have any information about these individuals and, of course, anyone who should be included on the list.

    Introductions to Heritage Assets: Shielings

    Shielings Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which have previously lacked such a published summary, either because the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. This IHA provides an introduction to shielings (huts that served as temporary, summer, accommodation for people involved in transhumance, that is the removal of stock from permanent dwellings to exploit areas of summer pasture some distance away from the main settlement). Descriptions of the asset type and its development as well as its associations and a brief chronology are included. A list of in‑depth sources on the topic is suggested for further reading. This document has been prepared by Rob Young and edited by Joe Flatman and Pete Herring. It is one of a series of 41 documents. This edition published by Historic England October 2018.

Plan shows at least three phases of construction. Introduction A shieling is a hut, found singly or in small groups, usually in upland areas which today we would consider as agriculturally marginal land.

    Wooler Wheel Classic 3 October 2015 Rider Manual

    WOOLER WHEEL CLASSIC 3 OCTOBER 2015 RIDER MANUAL Welcome to the Wooler Wheel Classic cycle sportive. This manual contains all the information you need for the Wooler Wheel Classic 100 & 50 rides on 3 October 2015. It is important that you read it. It provides vital information about the operation of the rides and it will enhance your enjoyment of the day. The Wooler Wheel is conducted under the regulations of British Cycling. Please note that the HQ for the rides (where you register, start and finish your ride) will be at the John Swan Ltd Wooler Livestock Centre, Berwick Road, Wooler NE71 6SL (otherwise known as the Wooler Mart). For this event we have the dedicated use of two large grazing fields adjoining the Wooler Mart for car parking. They give quick and easy access to the registration area and can accommodate around 400 cars. This will be sufficient to take all the cars of the entrants. Parking will be supervised. We strongly encourage all entrants to use this car park to avoid congestion at the limited capacity public parking areas in the town which causes considerable inconvenience to Glendale residents who drive to Wooler to do their Saturday shopping. 1 CONTENTS TERMINOLOGY SCHEDULE FOR THE DAY GETTING TO WOOLER GETTING TO WOOLER MART & WHERE TO GO Car Parking Getting to the Registration Area REGISTRATION AND PRE-RIDE PREPARATION EVENT START COORDINATION DURING THE RIDES EVENT FINISH THE ROUTES General Description Garmin Connect Links Google Maps Links Signage Feed and Water stations Cut Off Times Pulling out during the Ride A Word about Times What to Watch out For Pot Holes Route Marshals and your Safety First Aid Operational Partners Contact Numbers WITHDRAWALS SHORT TERM CANCELLATION PROCEDURE TOP TIPS FROM OUR PARTNER BRITISH CYCLING WANT MORE ACCESS TO BRITISH CYCLING EXPERTISE?
