The most northerly town in England, perhaps no other town in North East England has had a more eventful history than Berwick. There is no doubt that Berwick upon Tweed can claim the distinction of being the Border Town, as it has changed hands between England and Scotland thirteen times. Its history is inextricably tied up with the struggle for the Anglo Scottish frontier. An old legend is said to explain the fascinating history of Berwick;

Who was He? Warrior and Scottish Nationalist. Date and Place of Birth: 1270, Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland. Family Background: Second son of Malcolm (or Alan) Wallace, Laird of Elderslie and Auchinbothie, a small landowner. His mother was the daughter of Sir Hugh Crawford, Sheriff of Ayr. Education: From members of his family. Chronology: Wallace was born in a medieval fortification, the foundations of which now lie below the monument to him in Elderslie. Little of his youth is known but a wandering minstrel called "Blind Harry" told many tales of the deeds of Wallace in the 15th Century. How reliable these are is anyone's guess but it is likely that there was a good deal of romantic embroidery involved in the stories. Harry claims that Wallace was already a powerful individual by his late teenage years and had killed many Englishmen who had crossed him. The Scottish nobles asked for the help of Kind Edward the First of England (Longshanks) to help solve the dispute as to who should be King of Scotland. Edward appointed commissioners and after due consideration John Balliol was decreed to be the right choice.

The American Institute for Conservation The Core Collection of the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress Holly H. Krueger Introduction The Core Collection of the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress is a group of 92 objects which has been drawn from the Division's various sub-collections of rare materials so that selected items from the collection can be safely and easily retrieved on short notice to provide in-house presentations to distinguished visitors. The Core Collection is also the central element of a three-tier outreach program conceived by the Manuscript Division to increase public awareness of one of the world's greatest manuscript repositories. The first phase of the project was assembly of the Collection itself by the Manuscript Division and making it safely accessible. This first phase involved the Conservation Office in the examination, documentation, treatment, housing and development of a monitoring plan for the Collection. Nature of the Collection Fig. 1.

Ellen Wyman Christine L. Bates BERWICK, Maine - Christine Bates, age 98 of Berwick Street, died Monday, February 14, 2005 at her residence. She was born April 16, 1906, in Berwick, Maine, a daughter of Noah and Nettie (Toothaker) Randall. She attended Berwick schools and graduated from Sullivan High School in 1924. During her school years she worked on the family farm. Upon graduation, she left for Bermuda where she obtained a job as a waitress in the Princess Hotel. It was there that she met William E. (Bill) Bates, a native of Bermuda, who was working the hotel "circuit" as a fry cook. They married in 1933 and remained happily married for 55 years until his death in 1988. With the birth of her son in 1937, she began her second career of mother and homemaker. She was an avid gardener and baker, and was known for her rhubarb patch, cookies, blueberry muffins, apple pies, and the zucchini relish and pear honey she put up every fall. She loved the outdoors and was very active most of her life. As a child and young woman, she skated, skied and walked briskly. When there were food stores in Berwick, she walked to town daily to shop for food. After the stores closed she continued to walk "over town" into her 90s. Asked recently why she never got her driver's license, she said she tried driving once "but couldn't manage to stay on the right side of the road."

William Wallace, True Hero Thanks to Mel Gibson's rollicking adventure film, 'Braveheart', William Wallace has moved from being a name barely known outside Scotland to that of a figure known worldwide as a Scottish national hero. It's gratifying that a person from the history of a small country such as Scotland should be the inspiration for a story which gets worldwide exposure, especially given that, uniquely in European countries, schools in Scotland do not have an obligation to teach their own country's history. Unfortunately, in the past and particularly amongst our 'nobility' there has been a willingness amongst some Scots to see an alien culture as superior to our own, and to suppress our own traditions in favour of a foreign view. Be that as it may, fictional stories based on historical events tend to obscure history rather than illuminate it because drastic liberties are taken with the facts as anyone currently knows them. In this case, though, we know very little about William Wallace, so that even historians are led into speculation, an occupation with which they are more familiar than you might expect. Mel Gibson's William Wallace is probably somewhat at variance with the real man but since we don't really know much about him we might just as well simply enjoy a film which happens to be loosely based on real events. That doesn't mean, though, that we can't examine what few facts are known about the real William Wallace, because historical 'truth' is generally more complex and interesting than any simplified and fictionalised narrative.

William Wallace's Invasion of Northern England in 1297 By C.J. McNamee from: Northern History v.26 (1990) In the winter of 1297 William Wallace, fresh from his victory over the English at Stirling Bridge, presided over a ferocious and prolonged devastation of northern England. There had been raiding in the previous year when the Anglo-Scottish war had first opened, but nothing on this scale. Something of the extent of the destruction, and its impact on life in the region is conveyed by a contemporary chronicler: At that time the praise of God ceased in all the monasteries and churches of the whole province from Newcastle to Carlisle. All the monks, canons regular and the rest of the priests and ministers of the Lord, together with almost the whole of the people fled from the face of the Scot. l Modern narratives have tended to describe the invasion only in general terms, for in two respects the episode has been overshadowed. Historians of England have tended to concentrate on the prolonged phase of Scottish raiding which lasted from 1311 to 1322, historians of Scotland to focus on the importance of the Wallace invasion in the interpretation of the critical situation north of the border. This paper takes a closer look at the invasion of 1297, and the findings have significance both for our understanding of the state of affairs in contemporary Scotland, and for the parallels drawn between Wallace's invasion and the raids of Robert Bruce and his supporters in the early fourteenth century.
