Thursday John 6.44-51 Copy date for May 2020 issue: Monday, 13th April growing church bringing hope 3 Bishop Christine honoured by Newcastle City Council ‘Ping’ (Or actually a kind of visual ‘ping’ as a message pops up on my iPad screen, because I am highly visible as I sit in General Synod with the other Bishops. It’s amusing when other people’s phones go off, but awful when it is yours!). ‘Bishop Mark, can I remind you to write the Bishop’s Letter for the next edition of the Link, please?’ – say the words on the screen. ‘… and very often our schools are the only places of community left in our villages and even in our small towns…’ - say the words from the podium as we debate our engagement with children and young people as a Church. And I feel my various worlds colliding. Community matters so much and yet it is nowhere near as straightforward as it used to be (or at least as we think it used to be). Many of us are part of many communities, but changing patterns of life and communication can mean that they tend to be more transient and further away from where we live than they ever used to be, and there are real dangers in this alongside the strengths and joys it brings. It is so easy to overlook the overlooked: the isolated people who are cut off for all sorts of reasons and often without realising it is happening. We accidentally allow community to become merely functional and about stuff rather than Bishop Christine with her plaque relational and about people. At the heart of the Christian narrative, of our shared story as the Diocese of Newcastle, ISHOP Christine is one of six women with is the truth that God chose to inhabit life in new meeting rooms named after them in the a particular time and place, in the particular newly refurbished Newcastle Civic Centre.

  • Lesbury Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan
    LESBURY PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN Appendix A: Non-designated Heritage Assets in the Plan Area Lesbury and how it sits within the North Northumberland Coastal Plain The coastal plain links Newcastle and more southern parts of Northumberland with Scotland as both the A1 and East Coast Main Line run through its length. The coast is of national and international nature conservation importance for its geology, coastal sand dune complexes, maritime cliffs and slopes, offshore islands and intertidal habitats (including mudflats, coastal salt marsh and eelgrass beds) which support internationally significant populations of birds and grey seals, nationally important invertebrate assemblages and scarce plants. The Parish of Lesbury sits close to the length of coastline which is therefore covered by Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Alnmouth Estuary, Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Area (SPA) and RAMSAR designations. Twenty-five miles North along the A1, Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands are also designated as National Nature Reserves (NNRs). The sweeping sandy beaches, dunes and rocky headlands continue north into Scotland and south into the South East Northumberland Coastal Plain. The designated areas of the Northumbria Coast Special Protection Area (SPA) and RAMSAR site and North Northumberland Heritage Coast extend south into the South East Northumberland Coastal Plain. The history, geology, habitats and sheer beauty of the area make it a very important tourist and research destination. Three major rivers, the Tweed, Aln and Coquet, meander across the North Northumberland Coastal Plain to the sea; the Aln drains from Alnham in the Cheviot Fringe NCA, past Alnwick in the Northumberland Sandstone Hills NCA to the sea (through Lesbury) at Alnmouth.

  • Northumberland Field Systems
    Northumberland Field Systems By R. A. BUTLIN HE AGRARIAN history of the county of Northumberland has been the subject of much speculative enquiry, yet its main outlines are still T unknown. Gray thought the county to be a "region which in regard to its settlement and field systems was transitional between Celtic and Midland areas."1 Uhlig, in his study of the landscape of north-eastern England, states that "the former use of permanent arable land in small, long strips, and its location on the naturally best drained fields close to the settlement, whilst the outer fields remained a Block-Flur with a field-grass system, show striking similarities not only to the Scottish run-rig system, but also to the Esch, the strip infield of the oldest nuclei of the North Western German villages.''2 The Orwins were satisfied that "in the Middle Ages the system (open-field) prevailed all over Northumberland, except in the moorland areas," ~ and Tate, in the preface to his study of Northumberland enclosures, says: "one would expect the county to fall into a group of transitional districts, whose agriculture shows traces of Celtic 'run-rig' and of the more pure Germanic open fields of the Midlands. ''4 It is perhaps unfortunate that none of these authors has chosen to make extensive use of the surveys and maps of the county which appeared during the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, for these, in many instances, give a detailed picture of the anatomy of the Northumberland field system, and confirm the suspicion, voiced by some of these authors, that the field systems of the county show marked affinities with both Scottish and Midland arrangements.
