Some of the Friends attended the Christmas party held by the Northumberland and Newcastle Society last night at the Northumberland Golf Club. On sale was their new publication, ‘Our City, Our County: an anthology’, which is a celebration of the first 100 years of the N.N.S. For the anthology, members of the Society – the Friends of Jesmond Old Cemetery are members – were asked to write about the buildings, features and landscapes that have a special meaning for them. So, we submitted a piece on Jesmond Old Cemetery, which was accepted for publication and is included in the book.

It’s a great Christmas present for anyone interested in our local heritage and history.
