A look back at some of the haunting aspects of the past of Northumberland

Synopsis:
To look back at history through the visible remnants of our past will identify us with those who have gone before; it will also emphasise how different we are from them. In this sequel to his phenomenally successful 'Northumberland: The Power of Place' Stan Beckensall looks at many haunting aspects of the past: at the rituals of birth and death over the centuries; the changing shape of the countryside; the special nature of Northumberland as a border area; the spirit world of legend and myth; the impact of railways and roads; and the buried history hidden in the fossil record. The numerous illustrations are drawn from all over the county, above and below ground.
About the Author:
Stan Beckensall's deep knowledge of Northumberland has already been made available to a wide readership through 'Northumberland: The Power of Place', 'Prehistoric Northumberland' and 'Prehistoric Rock Art in Northumberland'. He is recognised as one of the UK's leading authorities on rock art, and has published widely on the subject. He was recently appointed Honorary Steward or Bailiff of Hexham
