What's in a name?
Cresswell Pele Tower, Cresswell, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 5JU
Charlton, Robson, Nixon, Armstrong, Scott - Familiar names with recent "celebrity" status - from the first man on the moon, to world cup winners, explorers, poets, and a US President. They can all trace their heritage back through history to a period of unrest on the Anglo-Scottish border. An almost forgotten but fascinating period of British History will be brought to life with displays, maps and family trees. Have a go at making a medieval tile, hear stories of myth and legend and of battles and conflict across the Marches, where people lived in fear of villainry, blackmail and terrorism and where the law always seemed to be on the "other" side.
Expect costumes, tales and the occasional discharge of muskets or clash of steel on steel.
