  • The Farne Islands
    The Farne Islands Transcript Season 2, Episode 8 Hello, and welcome to the Time Pieces History Podcast. Today, we’re looking at the Farne Islands, just off the coast of Northumberland. As always, shownotes and transcript are on my website, and please leave a comment. The largest of the Farne Islands and one of three which is accessible (there are 28 in total), is Lindisfarne, which is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north to south and 3 miles (4.8km) east to west. While it has a permanent population of only 160 people, it receives 650,000 visitors every year, many of whom stay in one of its five hotels or rent a holiday cottage. The Anglo-Saxons named the island, which became a religious site when the first monastery was built in 635AD. The two most significant bishops of the monastery are Saint Aidan, who we looked at in episode three of season one, and Saint Cuthbert, who featured in episode four of this season. The monastery at Lindisfarne was the target of the first recorded Viking raid in 793, although the island itself was visited by a group of Norsemen in 787, who killed the reeve sent to escort them to the king. Religious sites were often attacked, and the clergy described the Norsemen as ‘a most vile people’, which was not how they saw themselves. The Norse people considered raiding honourable, where the victor of battle claimed the spoils of war. They were very good at it, because they had superior ships and were committed to the task.

  • Lindisfarne Landscapes
    Lindisfarne Landscapes The retreat will focus on allowing God to speak to us through the landscape, wildlife and artefacts of the island. There will be guided walks each day, looking at the bird life, geology, flowers, shorelines, beaches, sea and clouds, as well as the well-known attractions such as the castle, priory, village and harbour. We will be using our walks to provide inspiration for artwork for those interested. Pastels and paper, and possibly some textiles, will be provided, but if you prefer to work in a different medium you will need to bring the necessary equipment and materials with you. Experienced artists and complete beginners are both welcome. There will be plenty of guidance available, especially for those with little experience. Anyone not wanting to paint, might want to express their ideas in prose or poetry, or just use the time for rest, birdwatching, reading or visiting the island attractions – you are still welcome! The island has an impressive range of bird-life, especially during the autumn and spring migrations, and wild flowers, which should prove very attractive to those interested in birdwatching or botany. The retreat will be led by Paul Swinhoe and Maureen Simpson. Paul has been visiting the island regularly for over 50 years and hosting retreats there since 2003. He is a bird watcher, artist, member of the Community of Aidan and Hilda and the Secular Order of the Discalced (Teresian) Carmel. Before retirement, he taught Earth Sciences and later Computing, for many years in the further education sector. Maureen is a Methodist Local Preacher, Prayer Guide, Spiritual Director, Group Coordinator for the Community of Aidan and Hilda, retired teacher, trained in Environmental Studies, and artist.

  • Grace Darling Museum
    Grace Darling Museum Welcome to the RNLI Grace Darling Museum In the true spirit of the lifeboat service, Grace Horsley Darling (1815–42) risked her life to rescue others from certain death in a terrible storm. Grace’s heroism earned her the first RNLI Medal for Gallantry to be awarded to a woman. Grace died of tuberculosis only 4 years later but her fame remains. The museum tells the story of the fearless girl who became a reluctant celebrity. The original Grace Darling Museum opened on this site in 1938. Over 75 years later, the building has been completely redeveloped using external funding. The stylish, environmentally friendly new building retains the intimacy of the old museum, and adds facilities for school visits, exhibitions, and events. The museum illustrates Grace’s upbringing and life in the lighthouse, the events of the rescue and her subsequent fame. Grace’s story is told through personal items, including letters, family portraits and the famous coble. The museum also features atmospheric audio-visual interpretation and a stunning model of the Longstone lighthouse. National heroine, Northumbrian icon Grace Darling saw the SS Forfarshire, an early paddle steamer, wrecked on Big Harcour rock. The lighthouse keeper’s daughter vowed to help. Grace and her father rowed out to sea in their small open boat, or coble, to rescue nine survivors clinging onto the rock. Grace held the coble steady in the raging seas while William helped the passengers. Soon news of Grace’s deed spread nationwide and her name became associated with courage and humanity. Grace and her father demonstrated the same qualities as lifeboat crews today: they risked their lives to save others in the face of great danger.

  • Grace Darling Factsheet
    THE LIFE OF GRACE DARLING 1815–42 The Darling family Grace Horsley Darling was born on 24 November 1815 in her grandfather’s cottage in Bamburgh, Northumberland. She was the seventh child of nine, and the fourth daughter of William and Thomasin Darling. Horsley was her grandfather’s surname. When Grace was 3 weeks old, she was taken to live at Brownsman Island, where her father was the lighthouse keeper. The family had a small cottage attached to the island’s lighthouse and were the only people who lived on the island. Their cottage had no running water, but it had a pond and a walled garden where the family kept chickens and grew their own vegetables and flowers. They also caught fish and collected sea birds’ eggs. exposed to the full fury of the North Sea. It was a bleak and wild Unfortunately, the lighthouse at Brownsman Island was not environment where nothing would grow and no birds lived. in a good position for guiding ships past the dangerous rocks.
