Big Skies and Barbarians from Corbridge up the North Tyne Valley (Audio CD)

Where would you find half naked women chanting a wild measure while the men, wielding dirks, were dancing a war dance? Or find a farm with a fragrant name, with a listed Long Drop toilet perched 40 feet above a gorge - hard luck if you were walking underneath!

90% of job applications before the 1500s put pillaging as a key skill!

A group of men from the Noble family stole a flock of sheep from the Armstrongs across the border in Scotland. When they got home they discovered that the sheep were infected with scab, so they rode back to Scotland, hanged 7 people and left a note telling the Armstrongs to make sure their sheep werent scabby in future...

Where else could all this happen, but in the North Tyne valley.
