Broad: ‘Northumberland at War’. At the Battle of Towton in 1461 the Lancastrian forces of Henry VI were defeated by the Yorkist forces of Edward IV. However Henry VI, with his wife, son and a few knights, fled north and found sanctuary in Scotland, where, in exchange for the town of Berwick, the Scots granted them finance, housing and troops. Henry was therefore able to maintain a presence in Northumberland and his supporters were able to claim that he was in fact as well as in theory sovereign resident in Northumberland. -

Newsletter Vol. 2
CASTLE STUDIES GROUP NEWSLETTER Number 2 AUTUMN 1988 Dear Member First of all, may I apologise for the belated appearance of this Newsletter, which has become the casualty of a growing pile of paperwork in Exeter University. Second, you will immediately see that its contents are not exactly as anticipated when last year's Newsletter was produced. As a result of discussion among the Steering Committee, which had an. informal meeting after the first day of the conference at Leeds in May of this year, the original plan to publish the Register of Members separately has been abandoned. Instead, the information collected on numerous questionnaires between 1986 and 1988 5s presented here, in digested form, in the second Newsletter together wit a an up-dated list of members The questionnaire enclosed Invites you to send information to appear in next year's Newsletter, in conjunction with the publications list which is provided by John Kenyon, In this way, each Newsletter will provide an accumulating body of information. Third, you will find enclosed a Bankers Order Form, which you may prefer to use rather than send a cheque each year. Use of these forms will certainly help in cutting down the paperwork for your Secretary. If you have not yet renewed your subscription from April 1988, please do so very soon. While numerous comments have been received about the usefulness of the Newsletter it will not develop its full potential unless members send items for publication. The first two issues have been very "business" orientated in their content. Please remember to send local/regional/national/ international news which you think might be of interest, together with dates and venues of meetings or courses (adult education tutors please note!) which members might wish to attend. -

Gap Analysis
Tyne Catchment Partnership – Gap analysis The Gap Analysis was undertaken in autumn 2014 ready for a Tyne Catchment Partnership meeting on 10th December 2014, in Gateshead Civic Centre. These notes are a ‘write up’ of the Gap Analysis, with some additional information since. The meeting notes are more a summary of the discussion (and can be read with this document) – these notes are the detail behind the maps that were on the table. Generally, the picture that emerged is the collective knowledge of the Tyne Catchment Partnership. However, without everybody having detailed knowledge of each project, it was difficult to assess to what extent a project is addressing the base problems. Executive Summary The ‘Gap Analysis’ on the Tyne Catchment Plan was undertaken in autumn 2014. 5 sets of base maps were produced, based on the Plan’s goals. These were overlaid with existing projects and partnerships, to see where there might be issues with no projects or partnership. Findings On the topic of pollution, there are lots of initiatives working in the urban area, which need co-ordination. Potential ‘gaps’ in the coverage of projects were Newburn (urbanisation issues); March Burn (phosphate); Derwent Reservoir (phosphorous related problems, linked to impoundments); Colt Crag reservoir, Hallington Reservoir, sediment monitoring at 3 loughs on the Roman Wall. Elsewhere, some initiatives are taking place where the base map hadn’t noted any issues. On the topic of mines / minerals, many organisations are working together and programming activity. The link between mines / minewaters and calaminarian grasslands (and linking to the wider Tyne Sediments Plan) might be a good Partnership project for further detailed thought, to see if there are still ‘gaps’ to address or timescales to plan for. -

The Rare and Scarce Plants of South Northumberland 2013 Introduction
The Rare and Scarce Plants of South Northumberland 2013 Quentin J. Groom, Gordon Young and A. John Richards Published 18 May 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1030416 Introduction The Vice-County Rare Plant Registers are an initiative of the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) to summarise the status of rare and conservation-worthy plants in each vice-county. The intention is to create an up-to-date summary of the sites of rare plants and their status at these sites. Rare Plant Registers intend to identify gaps in our knowledge, aid conservation efforts and encourage monitoring of our rare plants. Criteria for Inclusion The guidelines of the BSBI were followed in the production of this Rare Plant Register. All native vascular plants with a national status of “rare” (found in 1-15 hectads in Britain) or “scarce” (found in 16-100 hectads in Britain) are included even if that species is not native to South Northumberland. In addition, all native species locally rare or scarce in South Northumberland are included, as are extinct native species. These guidelines were occasionally relaxed to include some local specialities and hybrids of note. We would have liked to restrict the list to current sites for each species. However, in many cases, there is too little up-to-date information to make this possible. The listed sites are those where the species might still exist or has existed recently. In most cases, a site is included if a species has been recorded there since 1970. Sites without detailed locality information or of dubious provenance are not included. -
