The Friday Books

First published in 1934 ( Four in Total) North country sketches by Paul Brown are good reading mostly North of the river & Newcastle town Centre
but the second book (1935) tells a brief story 'Bede & Jarrow'

Nice one Ian! The tower is not keyed into the rest of the church! Jimmy Guy and I spent a lot of time trying to find evidence of ties. Bede's chair is still there but there is a lot of doubt to the fact is it really his? That church is mystery in lots of cases. However, having spent 10 yrs on an in-depth study, we often ran into dead end!
Wish I had that book !!!

I came across them in a charity shop about a year ago. Great sketches & history of the area. Your welcome to borrow them if your in Hebburn.
