  • Of St Cuthbert'

    Of St Cuthbert'

    A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham by Ruth Robson of St Cuthbert' 1. Market Place Welcome to A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham, part of Durham Book Festival, produced by New Writing North, the regional writing development agency for the North of England. Durham Book Festival was established in the 1980s and is one of the country’s first literary festivals. The County and City of Durham have been much written about, being the birthplace, residence, and inspiration for many writers of both fact, fiction, and poetry. Before we delve into stories of scribes, poets, academia, prize-winning authors, political discourse, and folklore passed down through generations, we need to know why the city is here. Durham is a place steeped in history, with evidence of a pre-Roman settlement on the edge of the city at Maiden Castle. Its origins as we know it today start with the arrival of the community of St Cuthbert in the year 995 and the building of the white church at the top of the hill in the centre of the city. This Anglo-Saxon structure was a precursor to today’s cathedral, built by the Normans after the 1066 invasion. It houses both the shrine of St Cuthbert and the tomb of the Venerable Bede, and forms the Durham UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Durham Castle and other buildings, and their setting. The early civic history of Durham is tied to the role of its Bishops, known as the Prince Bishops. The Bishopric of Durham held unique powers in England, as this quote from the steward of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham from 1284-1311, illustrates: ‘There are two kings in England, namely the Lord King of England, wearing a crown in sign of his regality and the Lord Bishop of Durham wearing a mitre in place of a crown, in sign of his regality in the diocese of Durham.’ The area from the River Tees south of Durham to the River Tweed, which for the most part forms the border between England and Scotland, was semi-independent of England for centuries, ruled in part by the Bishop of Durham and in part by the Earl of Northumberland.

    Washington Heritage Offer - Discussion Paper

    REPORT FOR WASHINGTON AREA COMMITTEE 7 JANUARY 2010 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CITY SERVICES WASHINGTON HERITAGE OFFER - DISCUSSION PAPER 1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 The purpose of the report is for Members of the Washington Area Committee to discuss and recommend ways forward in relation to the Heritage agenda within Washington, in order that projects can be investigated and developed for the future. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Washington is located in the west of Sunderland and is divided into small villages or districts, with the original settlement being named Washington Village. Washington became a new town in 1964 and a part of Sunderland in 1974. Washington is now a diverse town offering wonderful countryside views, fascinating history, heritage and leisure attractions. 3.0 CONTEXT 3.1 Heritage is an area of continuing growth both across the region and for the City of Sunderland. Sunderland has a distinct heritage and there is a strong sense of pride across the city. This pride is based on our character and our traditions, including the distinct identity of specific communities and the cultural traditions of our people. A successful nomination which is currently being developed for World Heritage Status would allow the city to become a cultural heritage landmark as one of three World Heritage Sites across the region and 27 sites across the UK, allowing the city to prosper in areas such as economic development and tourism. 3.2 Heritage for the city is managed and delivered through the City Services Directorate, with two part-time heritage officers working to deliver the Heritage agenda.

    St Edward, Coquet Avenue, Whitley Bay, NE26 1EE Immaculate Heart of Mary, Church Close, Monkseaton, NE25 9PG Our Lady and St Edmund, Station Road, Backworth, NE27 0RU 1ST SUNDAY OF LENT, Year B, 17th & 18th February 2018 Day of Prayer for the Candidates for the Sacraments SUNDAY READINGS REFLECTION Noah was a good man, a man of integrity who walked with God. He gave thanks to God for saving him and his family from the flood. God in return promises never to inflict the same punishment on man again despite our recurring sinfulness. Each of the covenants that God makes emerges from man’s alienation, there is no pretence that we are not fallible, sinful human beings. Lent is a time when we can recognise this, when we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and start all over again. After his baptism by John, Jesus is driven by the Spirit into the wilderness, to confront his adversary. He was there for forty days, overcame temptation and then returned to carry out his mission. We can use the forty days of Lent in a similar way, to understand ourselves better, accept the blessings of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and look forward to Easter. Deacon Terry LENT & HOLY WEEK 2018 - JOURNEYING TOGETHER A Lent Reflection Group will be available on Friday 23rd February, 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd March at 10.45am in the Upper Meeting Room at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. Poems and other readings will give a focus to shared reflection and prayer. Christians from the other local churches will be invited to join.
