Spirit In Stone

[Maggie/915]

Inspired North East with the support of The Church of England dioceses of Durham and Newcastle has produced a website and booklet of more than 120 churches in the North East of England.

Great except no mention in the booklet of our very own unique and amazing church of Saint Cuthbert.

The pilgrimage route from Jarrow to Lindisfarne was evidently through our town.

Do we accept being forgotten and off the beaten track.

Ashington does not get a mention!

[Brett]

Don't say anything or they will put Ashington in and leave us out.

[John Fox (foxy)]

Ashington does not get a mention!

I'm sure the MP will soon be onto that one Maggie   

[Malcolm Robinson]

Who do we write to Maggie?????

There is a website Malcolm.

I tried searching on it for Bedlington and we get the a mention but no details about how important our town and church were in the past.

Do you want the leaflet?

It seems such a huge omission to me.

Maybe I am a little biased.

The booklet /leaflet was printed in 2013.

Turns out the church didn't participate.

[Malcolm Robinson]

OHHHHHHHHHHH....get her!

[Brett]

OHHHHHHHHHHH....get her!

 

An assumption it's a woman Malcolm? 

[Malcolm Robinson]

No just a certain temperament!

[Maggie/915]

Surely History is not required to participate .

It is either of interest or not!

We would not exclude say Lindisfarne or Durham.

Within the History of Durham Carhedral we are surely important.

Part of Durham in Northumberland has to be a story .
