Jamie Shafer (jamieos)  > Ogle Northumberland Reunion July 2005 > Ogle and Other Places in Northumberland
This is a visual tribute to Northumberland from which John Ogle emigrated to Delaware in 1664. In 2001 I created a photo album on CD using my photos, purchased postcards, and photos and drawings sent by Ogle cousins in England. Since the Ogle/Ogles Family Association is planning a group visit to Northumberland in the summer of 2005, I was moved to recreate my album for presentation on the internet, including this time more elements: internet photos, antique prints, scanned photos, maps and printed information from books and the internet. All this is done with the hope that the Ogle travellers of 2005 will expand their travels in beautiful Northumberland beyond the obvious destinations i.e.Ogle Castle, Eglingham Hall, Alnwick Castle, etc., and include some of the additional sites pictured in this album. Any image can be saved in any size by right-clicking the image and saving to your computer harddrive.

Jamie Shafer (jamieos) > BRINKBURN PRIORY
   The priory was founded, by William Bertram, c. 1135 as a house for Augustinian canons. Only fragments of the cloister buildings remain, but the beautiful Romanesque church, one of the finest in the country, is still standing. It was built in 1190 and re-roofed and restored in 1858. Noteworthy features are the lancet windows, glazed with stained glass, and the stone-vaulted roof. The organ, built in 1868 by the celebrated English organ-builder William Hill, is still intact and is occasionally used for recitals. Entrance to the church is by an elaborate north doorway, and one of the best views of this north portal is seen from the top of the steep path in the car park. The pathway provides a short walk through wild woodland to an almost secret opening which leads to the church and priory.

Perfectly secluded and peaceful, the site of Brinkburn Priory has a magical atmosphere. Tradition has it that nearby is the burial place for Northumbrian fairies, who loved the many wild flowers that grow around this picturesque and well-hidden spot in a loop of the River Coquet. The Priory is 41/2  miles southeast of Rothbury on unclassified road off B6334.
