Later in the summer we look forward to Bishop Frank coming to hold a Deanery Confirmation at St Mungo’s Simonburn on the morning of Sunday 27th July. These two visits, for rather different purposes, will both be important occasions, each reminding us of the nature of the Church of England. The tradition of our Church, since Anglo Saxon times, has been to encourage a fairly independently spirited clergy to minister, in co-operation with local people, in distinct geographical areas. Over the years that system has shown both strengths and weaknesses, and the degree to which it has been successful is known only to God! Every ‘system’ involving human beings needs its ‘checks and balances’. At their worst, both clergy and parishioners can become remarkably insular in their outlook, and can come to overly treasure ‘their’ way of doing things. Our Bishops exercise their ministry to remind us that we are part of something bigger and more dynamic than a village club or a gathering of the like-minded.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.
