Broad: ‘Northumberland at War’. At the Battle of Towton in 1461 the Lancastrian forces of Henry VI were defeated by the Yorkist forces of Edward IV. However Henry VI, with his wife, son and a few knights, fled north and found sanctuary in Scotland, where, in exchange for the town of Berwick, the Scots granted them finance, housing and troops. Henry was therefore able to maintain a presence in Northumberland and his supporters were able to claim that he was in fact as well as in theory sovereign resident in Northumberland.

  • Reason for Closure (PDF 732KB)
    This branch is closing – but we're still here to help Our Rothbury branch is closing on Friday 2 November 2018 Reasons for closure, and alternative ways to bank This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Rothbury branch is closing: • The number of transactions has gone down in the previous 24 months, and additionally 69% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone. • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 19% since 2012. • In the past 12 months, 43% of this branch's customers have been using neighbouring branches. • We've identified that only 71 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch with Lisa Corley, your Deputy Community Banking Director for Northumberland & Durham.

Plummer, Newcastle Carver;- Mr Ralf Hedley, Newcastle Rev. C.E. Blackett-Ord - Rector Lord Armstrong Churchwarden D.D. Dixon Churchwarden Dr. J.Barrow Churchwarden Thos Shell Churchwarden The Chancel Screen and Coats of Arms The riches of the interior of the Rothbury Parish Church was greatly enhanced by the erection of a carved oak pulpit, choir stalls and chancel screen. The pulpit is an exquisite piece of workmanship and contains the figurers of St. Columba, St Paulinus, St Hilda , St Aidan and Bernard Gilpin. The figures occupy niches beneath finely carved canopies. An inscription around the base of the pulpit reads: “To the glory of God and in affectionate memory of Margaret, wife of Baron Armstrong, of Cragside who died on the 2nd September, 1893 in her 86th year.” The pulpit was erected by William and Winifreda Watson Armstrong, November 1901.

Freeman Environmental Programs i i . -( Smithsonian Institution WT~ashington. D.C. 1974 PREFACE Pollution by oil and other contaminants in warm tropical waters generates various impacts, some of which are unique to the tropical latitudes, particularly inthe coastal zone. The environment, marine life, and resource values of warm tropical coastal waters are distinct from those of colder waters at higher latitudes. In tropical coastal waters are to be found a an astounding variety of corals, fish, and other animals, ex­ tensive mangrove swamps, highly productive brackish-water fishponds, and a vast number of "unspoiled" attractions for international tourism, recreation, and scientific study. Millions of peola rely on the fish and other animals taken from tropical coastal waters as a major source of protein and subsistence. In deeper tropical waters, commercial catches are increasing as fishing fleets become modernized. Exports of sardines, tuna, skipjack, and shrimp are contributing to foreign income id many nations and are being stimulated by international programs to assist fisheries development. The impacts of marine pollution by oil and other contaminants such as municipal sewage, industrial effluents, agricultural chemicals, and sedim"nt must be assessed against this combina­ tion of environmental conditions, marine life, and resource values.
