  • Coldingham Priory

    Coldingham Priory

    24 Church Service Society Annual Coldingham Priory COLDINGHAM Priory is not so well known as it deserves to be, although it played an important part in Scottish history from its foundation. Little remains today of the once magnificent Church, only the North and East walls of the Choir still stand. The Parish Church now occupies the ancient site of the Choir, embodying the original North and East walls, to which were added South and West walls, to form a church rectangular in shape, and measuring 95 feet by 35 feet. To a passer-by the church may appear to have a rather uninteresting exterior ; but his surprise is all the greater on entering its precincts to find a Sanctuary of great beauty, and a church unique in Scotland. Here men have borne witness to the Christian faith, and have maintained Christian worship for nearly nine hundred years. The origin of Coldingham Priory is linked with the story of a Scottish King. He was Edgar, King of Scots, who had been ousted from his throne by his uncle, Donald Bane. Determined to regain his throne he found the help he needed in England, and was soon making for the Scottish Border with a strong army. When he was at Durham on the way north, Edgar had a vision of St Cuthbert, who appeared to him and told him to take the consecrated banner of St Cuthbert, and to carry it at spear point at the van of his advancing forces, and he would thereby gain the victory over his usurping uncle.

GLEDHILL The enforced abdication of King John in July 1296 and the consequent degrading of Scotland from an independent kingdom to a mere land of the English monarchy introduced a difficult political dualism into Scottish politics. The military conquest of Scotland meant that its barons and knights now had to decide whether to accept English claims to overlordship that were directly exercised through a colonial government, or continue to support a series of guardians who acted in King John’s name: a situation that lasted until the negotiated surrender of the guardian John Comyn of Badenoch at Strathord in 1304.

    MEDIEVAL BERWICK Berwick Has Been a Garrison Town Since the Middle Ages Because of Its Strategic Position on the Anglo-Scottish Border

    MEDIEVAL BERWICK Berwick has been a garrison town since the Middle Ages because of its strategic position on the Anglo-Scottish Border. Through the centuries, the town has hosted soldiers of many nationalities. In 1298, King Edward I installed a garrison of 60 men at arms and 1,000 foot soldiers, including some Gascon mercenaries. A petition sent to King Edward II on 20th April 1317 relates to the arrival of an Irish soldier of fortune in the town: “The mayor, bailiffs and commons of Berwick greet the King and inform him that John le Iirois [“the Irishman”] came to Berwick on the Monday before mid- Lent [March 7th] and sought leave of the Keeper to go to western parts to harass the enemy, and did so, and then returned to Berwick on April 12 with 38 men at arms and 54 hobelars (light cavalryman), well equipped, and John and his men are staying in defence of the town up to the date of this letter and still remain.” (Ancient Petitions) Apparently the Irishman had complained that his mercenary men-at-arms all of whom were: “suitably mounted and armed with aketon (a padded quilted jacket), hauberk (a mail shirt) and bascinet (open-faced light helmet)”, were not receiving appropriate pay of 12d a day but were being treated as ordinary hobelars, who were paid only 6d. The petition asks: “May the King recompense John as one who has deserved a reward, having grieved the enemy to the utmost of his power.” After the final capture of Berwick in 1482, Edward IV appointed the Earl of Northumberland Warden of the East March and Keeper of the Town and Castle of Berwick.

    Border Brains Walks Berwickshire Border Brains Walks Introduction Welcome to Border Brains Walks: your free guide to exploring the lives and ideas of the Berwickshire geniuses David Hume, James Hutton, Duns Scotus, James Small and Alexander Dow, in the beautiful landscape that gave them birth. The world’s great minds have given us many good reasons to step outside for a walk and a think. Walking was William Hazlitt’s university: “Give me the clear blue sky over my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours’ march to dinner – and then to thinking!” wrote the essayist in On Going a Journey. Berwickshire’s own David Hume, the philosopher, successfully petitioned Edinburgh Town Council to create on Calton Hill Britain’s first recreational walk, entirely dedicated to the public’s healthy pursuits and living. “A circulatory foot road,” he argued, “would present strangers with the most advantageous views of the city … and contribute not only to the pleasure and amusement, but also to the health of the inhabitants of this crowded city.” In this urgent age, we must work hard to find spaces of time to walk or ride a horse or bicycle, to gather our wits and sense our passage over the earth. According to an Arab proverb, the human soul can only travel as fast as a camel can trot. “Modern travelling is not travelling at all,” thought the poet and artist John Ruskin: “it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.
