I resisted stopping to take photographs of every beautiful scene as I drove from Bellingham to Falstone to Hexham to Newbrough to Tarset ... for everything from a funeral to planning church roof repairs.
Thanks for your blog. My wife and I are planning a trip to Hadrian's Wall and Scotland. Her surname is Robson, which apparently is traceable to "Hroethbert, the name found on a stone cross in the Robson heartland at Falstone." http://robsonfamilytree.co.uk/history-of-the-robson-famiy-name.htm
So I began looking for info on Falstone and area, which in turn led me to your church; hence, to you. Might you happen to know where this Hroethbert stone is found?
Your fields look so small compared with our paddocks!
ReplyDeleteAs my father told you, we live on a very small island!
