Thank you to everyone who came out to today's trip to the Bowes Museum. A really interesting and informative guided tour from Rodney, learning more about the founder John and Josephine Bowes, before a lovely lunch and free time to look around. So much to see.

Members of AMHS and visitors enjoyed a walk to the site of Alston Castle yesterday evening. Alastair Robertson led the walk and provided insights into other historical buildings (Tower Hill, the brewery) and events en route.
Once on site, some people had a go at dowsing, and detected disturbed earth and/ or structures underground.
Thanks to the landowner for giving the society permission to vist, Moorland Immersion for the photos, and Brewhouse Studios for providing after walk refreshments.
For those wishing to know more about the site, see Historic England's listing: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1007134?section=official-list-entry
