Upper Coquet Resource Group COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER JULY & AUGUST 2020 Upper Coquet Resource Group COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER JULY & AUGUST 2020 Supported by *************************************************************************************** COVID-19: Due to the on-going situation, this combined double July & August newsletter is in electronic form only. Perhaps by September things may have improved to allow us to print and distribute again. Released slightly later than planned (sorry) but this has allowed any trickles of good news and additions to filter through…..which is much easier to include in electronic form. Please continue to share this newsletter and send to friends by email. This approach should allow our community to still share news and potentially allow authorities to distribute information, although we are very much aware that many of our neighbours will miss the paper copy and are without access to the internet. If you know of someone in this position carefully think how you can help to keep them up to date. If you have an item for the September newsletter, then please forward it in electronic form to Susan Rogerson by Wednesday 19th August via [email protected] Planned 2020 dates: deadlines are (very occasionally these need to be altered slightly to fit with volunteer availability but reminders will always appear in the above section): Issue Deadline (items to Susan by) “Print” date September 19.08.20 21.08.20 Oct 16.09.20 18.09.20 Nov 14.10.20 16.10.20 Dec & Jan 2021 18.11.20 20.11.20 If you would like to advertise your business for an extremely competitive price and reach over 380 households each month, then please contact Susan Rogerson: [email protected] All funds raised, plus extra donations and money provided via fund raising events, help The Upper Coquet Resource Group (UCRG) to keep this voluntary community publication going. The UCRG has been established over 20 years as a registered charity. We promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the Upper Coquetdale area, consisting of the parishes of Netherton & Biddlestone, Harbottle, Hepple & Alwinton. The charity provides facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and other leisure time occupations. If you know of a group that may benefit from some funding and they meet the above criteria, then please contact us via [email protected] Vintage tea party items for hire Everything you need to host the perfect tea party! Donations for any hire will be given to the UCRG. For further information contact Alison Bolton on: 01669 630252 or email: [email protected] Don’t forget our monthly UCRG quiz. If you are unable to get a copy at the moment, the please contact Margaret Ward on 01669 650317 and she will ensure you get one.

Across the country sales have sky rocketed. As many may already know we have collected and sold donated new and used jigsaws at local fairs for many years now to raise funds for the group’s work.

Also, if you have any complete jigsaw puzzles, including children’s jigsaws and any boxed games that you no longer want and would like to donate to the group then please contact Tracey Boldy, Jackie Bickmore, Ann Hennessy or Margaret Ward. CANINE PARTNERS Please continue to save your used postage stamps for the charity, Canine Partners, in order to help towards the cost of training even more puppies to develop into helping dogs for disabled and injured people.

It has helped so much. https://caninepartners.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising/recycle-used-postage-stamps/ ALWINTON VILLAGE: Rose & Thistle Inn Sunday lunch take-aways are available by pre-ordering via 01669 650226 by Saturday night. Full roast, dessert and beer available to take away. Fab! Message regarding Alwinton Border Shepherds’ Show 10/10/2020 It is with heavy heart I confirm that Alwinton Show 2020 is to be cancelled. We have come to the conclusion that government guidelines, especially in respect of mass gatherings, and social distancing make the running of such an event incredibly uncertain and a risk we cannot take. The health and safety of everyone involved including the public, exhibitors, stewards, members and contactors as a whole remain our priority. Thank you in advance for your support and we look forward to welcoming everyone to next year’s Alwinton Show on Saturday 9th October 2021. Keep well and safe. Bessie Clennell Hall Hotel & Bar https://www.facebook.com/Clennell-Hall-Hotel-Bar-251743698267745/ Take away service available. Please pre-order the day before on 01669 650377.

Pub Update We are continuing to follow the Government's Coronavirus updates and are hoping to be able to at least partially re-open in July, even if this is only in our courtyard. In the meantime, we are open for take-away drinks as an off-licence, including cans and bottles from the cellar. Shop Update Our shop continues to offer an extended service including farm-fresh fruit and vegetables, home cooked tray bake cakes and fresh meats and pies from Green’s and Greenbrae’s. We are continuing our free delivery service within Harbottle and the surrounding villages for elderly or vulnerable customers, or for those who are self-isolating. We also offer an ‘order and collect’ service for customers who would like to email or phone in an order and collect from us later, including specific meat orders from Green's – please phone us on 01669 650221 or email [email protected]. If you have internet access, please visit www.thestarinnharbottle.co.uk for up to date information on what we typically stock in our shop. Refurbishment Update We have been working hard on Phase 2 of our refurbishment plan, which includes the customer areas of the bar, our flat above the pub and our new wood fired pizza kitchen Pizzeria La Stella. We are on track to complete this work by the end of June so that we can move into our flat and get tidied up in the pub and outside areas so that we are ready to open if we are able to. ** NEW ** Pizzeria La Stella The Italian translation of 'The Star' is 'La Stella' so this seemed a good name for our new wood fired pizza kitchen! We have employed a chef, Alex, on a part-time basis who joins us in late June and we are on target to open on Friday 3rd July. This weekend will be our launch weekend and we will be offering a 10% discount off all food menu items during the opening hours: Friday: 5pm until 9pm Saturday: 12 noon until 9pm Sunday: 12 noon until 4pm All food will be served as takeaway although we are hoping the Government will relax the rules by then and customers will be able to eat in the courtyard/pub with a drink from the bar - watch this space! We are currently working on the menu for the launch weekend and will share this once it is available. In the meantime, follow us on social media or via our website for all of the latest updates: http://www.thestarinnharbottle.co.uk We'd like to take the opportunity to thank every customer who has continued to support us during these difficult times, it is hugely appreciated. We wish everyone the very best of wishes - stay safe. Kind regards Karen and Phil ************************************************************************************** Message from ED Team: We are sure many in the local area have found the outstanding service provided by Karen and Phil over the lockdown period to have been absolutely invaluable and no doubt helped to keep many a household going (in spinach and Galaxy, or was that just me?!).

    COCWUDU STUDIES 1: BRINKBURN AND NEWMINSTER CHARTER BOUNDARY READINGS BERNICIAN STUDIES GROUP January 2020 www.bernicianstudies.eu/?page_id=556 1 BRINKBURN AND NEWMINSTER CHARTER BOUNDARY READINGS INTRODUCTION: ORIGINS AND SCOPE OF THIS STUDY This study began as a review of some 13th-century charters of the religious houses of Brinkburn Priory and Newminster Abbey in Northumberland, initiated with the aim of elucidating boundaries of land units and reconciling them to the Present-day landscAPe. Its PrinciPal outcome is a set of mAPs here Presented in this document. The first stage of the study, with fieldwork and subsequent review, considered three charters, the (undated) foundation charter of Brinkburn Priory (Part A below), and two Newminster charters: an agreement of 1225 of grazing rights in West Ritton (B6 below); and a 1268 agreement of grazing rights on Hesleyhurst (B7 below). The analysis of the two Newminster charters threw uP some questions as to the boundary between the lands of the lordshiP of Rothbury and the Merlay barony of MorPeth and this was further Pursued in a second stage of study involving a wider range of sources. It then became APParent that this wider study offered a resolution to a question concerning the boundary of Ritton in 1113. Argument is Presented on this Point. Part A of this document deals with the Brinkburn foundation charter and Part B with the Newminster charters. The charters and other documents used here have been accessed from Printed editions of the Latin texts (see Sources p.36). The geogrAPhies of the charters have been tested by field observation, by review of historic mAPs (PrinciPally the 1st edition Ordnance Survey at 6 inches to 1 mile) and from satellite and LiDAR imagery.

Our over- riding aim is to develop and support active and effective local councils.
