Perceptions of our Past
Location: Northumberland
It was because of the interest shown by the youngsters of Simonside Theatre Group in a copy of the 1204 charter granted to Hugh de Balliol which allowed a weekly market and a yearly fayre at Newbiggin, that the idea of a medieval weekend began to take root. SYT
Initially we met with St. Bartholomew's church members, who for many years had celebrated the festival of the Patron Saint of the parish, and Wansbeck district Council which was already planning to make a significant investment towards a family weekend over the August bank holiday. After this very constructive meeting we decided to apply for funding to accomplish our input into the weekend. People from all sections of Newbiggin life attended the subsequent open meetings and as they say, the rest 'is history'.
