The Autumn issue of the Friends of Jesmond Dene newsletter was mailed out to members recently and is now available on clicky-flicky Issuu.com by clicking on the ‘expand’ button below, or if you’re accessing via an iOS device by clicking on this iPhone/iPad link. The issue contains news about otter sitings, why there’s now a flagpole in the Dene (clue: it’s because Jesmond Dene garnered a cleanliness and community award) and how to join the Friends group (membership costs just £3 per family per year) and much, much more.
Autumn Newsletter 2023 – A missing painting and Armstrong’s romantic side.
In this issue of the Friends of Jesmond Dene Newsletter we have articles from Henrietta Heald, who is the author of Magician of the North, a biography of William Armstrong, Baron Armstrong of Cragside (1810–1900). She writes about the missing painting of Prince Hal (more below). We also have an article on Lord Armstrong’s environmentalism, written by Keaton Bailey who’s dissertation was based on Jesmond Dene and Lord Armstrong.
You will also find updates from FOJD, what we’ve been up to and recent events, plus how you can help support the Dene.
