The Archives
The Charity has deposited its considerable archives with the Northumberland Records Office in Woodhorn. The Charity provided funding, along with the Heritage Lottery Fund, for the collection to be listed and this catalogue is available on line.
The collection includes account books, petitions, correspondence, deeds and leases, maps and plans, and eighteenth century newspapers. There are records from school rolls and the dispensary at Bamburgh. While the estates at Blanchland are perhaps not as comprehensivelly recorded, there is a wealth of information for those researching local or family history, painting a picture of what life was really like in these communities.
The online catalogue can be accessed here.
There is also a short online exhibition on archives and the Lord Crewe's Charity and Dr Sharp's Bamburgh Charities here.
As part of our Tercentenary celebrations for 2021 the Charity has commissioned the Northumberland Archives to digitise many of the key documents in the collection so access can be provided to them on line.
