Embleton is a village and civil parish in the English county of Northumberland. Besides the village of Embleton itself, the civil parish includes the settlement of Christon Bank, situated about a mile to the west.
Embleton village has a main street with one shop. There is a small green with the village pump on it, out of use now but at one time the source of the water supply. Embleton has an 18-hole golf course which opened in 1900 and was updated in 1922. The village is about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) from Embleton Bay. The sandy beach is backed by dunes where a variety of flowers bloom: bluebells, cowslips, burnet roses and, to give it its common name, bloody cranesbill, amongst others.
Christon Bank lies on the East Coast Main Line railway, and until 1958 was the site of a station. Beyond the bounds of the parish, Dunstanburgh Castle stands at the southern end of Embleton Bay. Close by, to the south, is the fishing village of Craster. Robert de Emeldon, a Lord Treasurer of Ireland, was born in Embleton towards the close of the thirteenth century.
Close by the church is Embleton Tower, a pele tower which was the vicarage until 1974 . The Creighton Memorial Hall is said to be the largest village hall in the county and is named after Mandell Creighton, who was vicar 1875–1884 and later became Bishop of London. One road is named after the Embleton-born W. T. Stead, a journalist and social campaigner who died in the sinking of the RMS Titanic.

Dunstanburgh Castle / Castelo Dunstanburgh (4k)
Dunstanburgh Castle is a 14th-century fortification on the coast of Northumberland in northern England, between the villages of Craster and Embleton. The castle was built by Earl Thomas of Lancaster between 1313 and 1322, taking advantage of the site's natural defences and the existing earthworks of an Iron Age fort. Thomas was a leader of a baronial faction opposed to King Edward II, and probably intended Dunstanburgh to act as a secure refuge, should the political situation in southern England deteriorate. The castle also served as a statement of the earl's wealth and influence, and would have invited comparisons with the neighbouring royal castle of Bamburgh. Thomas probably only visited his new castle once, before being captured at the Battle of Boroughbridge as he attempted to flee royal forces for the safety of Dunstanburgh. Thomas was executed, and the castle became the property of the Crown before passing into the Duchy of Lancaster.
Dunstanburgh's defences were expanded in the 1380s by John of Gaunt, the Duke of Lancaster, in the light of the threat from Scotland and the peasant uprisings of 1381. The castle was maintained in the 15th century by the Crown, and formed a strategic northern stronghold in the region during the Wars of the Roses, changing hands between the rival Lancastrian and Yorkist factions several times. The fortress never recovered from the sieges of these campaigns, and by the 16th century the Warden of the Scottish Marches described it as having fallen into wonderfull great decaye.[1] As the Scottish border became more stable, the military utility of the castle steadily diminished, and King James I finally sold the property off into private ownership in 1604. The Grey family owned it for several centuries; increasingly ruinous, it became a popular subject for artists, including Thomas Girtin and J. M. W. Turner, and formed the basis for a poem by Matthew Lewis in 1808.
The Dunstanburgh Castle golf course was built near the property in 1900, and expanded by the castle's then owner, Sir Arthur Sutherland, in 1922. By the 1920s Sutherland could no longer afford to maintain the castle, and he placed it into the guardianship of the state in 1930. When the Second World War broke out in 1939, measures were taken to defend the Northumberland coastline from a potential German invasion. The castle was used as an observation post and the site was refortified with trenches, barbed wire, pill boxes and a mine field. In the 21st century the castle is owned by the National Trust and run by English Heritage. The ruins are protected under UK law as a Grade I listed building, and are part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest, forming an important natural environment for birds and amphibians.
Dunstanburgh Castle was built in the centre of a designed medieval landscape, surrounded by three artificial lakes called meres covering a total of 4.25 hectares (10.5 acres). The curtain walls enclose 9.96 acres (4.03 ha), making it the largest castle in Northumberland. The most prominent part of the castle is the Great Gatehouse, a massive three-storey fortification, considered by historians Alastair Oswald and Jeremy Ashbee to be one of the most imposing structures in any English castle.[2] Multiple rectangular towers protect the walls, including the Lilburn Tower, which looks out towards Bamburgh Castle, and the Egyncleugh Tower, positioned above Queen Margaret's Cove. Three internal complexes of buildings, now ruined, supported the earl's household, the castle constable's household and the running of the surrounding estates. A harbour was built to the south-east of the castle, of which only a stone quay survives.

The Beamish Automatic Telecom
Jonathan Kindleysides, Keeper of Transport and Allan Monkhouse, museum volunteer, introduce us to the Beamish Automatic Telecoms system.
The museum has had its own Strowger exchange since 1985 when GEC Plessey, Hartlepool, donated a 100 line Siemens type 222. This exchange operated phones around the Tramway and tram depot. However, it proved to be hard to maintain and not very reliable.
In 1992 BT offered the museum a 100 line exchange from Embleton, on the Northumberland Coast. It was decided to abandon the Siemens exchange in favour of the 100 line UAX 13 rural exchange, a workhorse of the GPO. This was installed with help from BT and has spent the last 21 years operating the internal tramway and depot telephones.
However, up until recently, only a handful of the possible 100 lines have been used. Over the past few years members of the Tramway Group and volunteers made up of ex-BT engineers have expanded the network across the museum. Work has involved the erection of traditional telegraph poles and wires around the site, and the fitting of period looking handsets and hardware into museum exhibits - reducing the amount of modern technology being used to communicate between teams.
The main exchange unit, situated within the Tram shed, is a hive of activity. It is hoped that an exchange building which visitors can access will be constructed within the museum as part of future plans.
Dunstanburgh Castle. Northumberland.
942-16-8-17.
Dunstanburgh Castle lies on a spectacular headland on the coast of Northumberland in northern England, between the villages of Craster and Embleton.
The castle is the largest in Northumberland. an English county that boasts more castle than any other. The site shows traces of much earlier occupation before the erection of the castle was started in 1313 by the Earl of Lancaster
The castle did not play a significant part in the border warfare against Scotland. In the Wars of the Roses the castle was held for the Lancastrians in 1462 and 1464. The damage done was not made good and the castle fell steadily into decay. A report in 1538 mentioned it as being a very reuynus howsse and of smalle strength and another source in 1550 described it as in wonderfull great decaye. It continued to deteriorate and was robbed of stone for the building of other places in the area. The last private owner Sir Arthur Sutherland donated the castle to the Ministry of Works in 1929. The castle is now owned by the National Trust and in the care of English Heritage. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade I listed building. It lies within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

St Maurice Church Ellingham Northumberland
St Maurice Church
A Grade II listed building, one of at least 4/5 churches which have existed on this site since 1150 (possibly earlier), the existing structure incorporates parts of an earlier Norman church.
Unusual in that it is one of only a few churches in England to be named after the Roman officer who along with his companions was martyred in the 3rd Century in Switzerland for refusing pagan sacrifices and refusing to attack the innocent.
Today the church serves a population of approximately 280 people and services are held every Sunday (Eurcharist) morning by The Revd Canon Brian Hurst.
Dunstanburgh Castle part 1, , Northumberland.
Recent evidence suggests that the site of the castle was occupied in prehistoric times: however, the principal remains date from the 14th century. In 1313, Earl Thomas of Lancaster, cousin of Edward 11 of England began construction of a massive fortress. By the time of his execution in 1322 the castle was substantially complete. John of Gaunt improved the castle in the late 14th century as the Duke of Lancaster. The castle occuupies a prominent headland about 1 mile (1.6km) north of Craster. On the south side there is a gentle slope towards the castle. The northerly approach is much steeper and the northern perimeter juts into Embleton Bay forming a 150ft (46m) cliff. The headland itself is part of the Great Whin Sill, a geological formation stretching across Northumberland.
Craster is a small fishing village on the Northumbrian coast. It has a small and attractive harbour and offers a view northwards along the rocky shore to the spectacular ruins of Dunstanburgh castle and the approach must be made on foot as there is just a grassy path. The next village north is Embleton.

WILD CAMP CHARLIE 19TH AUG 2017
Our third little wild camping pitch in Kielder Forest, Northumberland and our first bushcraft project, building The Pavilion in the Woods using fallen / standing deadwood (no live trees were harmed etc)
This is stage one, where we cut and position the roof beams, then drink loads of rum and cook steaks on the campfire :)
Apologies if the aspect ratio goes a bit wonky here and there, this is my first pop at editing a video (and me and Deano filmed in different aspect ratios without thinking).
Oh, occasional bad swearing warning too.
Hope you enjoy - lots more to come!

Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship - Dr Alastair Hemmens
Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship scheme
We have recently received excellent news of the School's success in supporting two applications to the Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship scheme. These are post-doctoral research awards and awarded to researchers who nominate an academic community and university whom they would like to host their work and its development. This prestigious scheme funded approximately 100 projects from a total of 800 applications this year and it is extremely rare for a School to be awarded two Fellowships. The last Leverhulme ECF award held at Cardiff University was in 2010. This is an outstanding achievement for the School of Modern Languages.
The school will have two new colleagues in September for a three-year period. The award funds the Fellows to undertake a significant piece of publishable research, whilst employed as a full-time member of staff at the University. The two colleagues who will be joining us, and their projects, are:
Dr Serena Bassi: 'Translating Gay Liberation: the Negotiation of Sexual Identities and Political Struggles between the United States and Italy'
Dr Alastair Hemmens: 'Ne travaillez pas: The Critique of Work in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century French Thought, from Charles Fourier to Guy Debord'
