|
02 Feb 2010 |
| Culture Club members took a step back in time once again with the Time Bandits on Saturday, January 30 , for a walking tour of the ancient market town of Hexham, seat of the ancient Liberty of Tynedale with a long and colourful history from Romans to Rioters.
The tour payed particular attention to the infamous Hexham Massacre of 1761 when some forty-five people were shot down by the North Yorks Militia during a civil disturbance, a worse atrocity than the more famous Peterloo Massacre of 1819.
