Brancepeth Village, Castle & Church - County Durham
Brancepeth Village is situated five miles west of Durham City and it was probably founded during the Roman occupation of Britain. Cropping up around the Roman road that once ran through the village, an fortified house & church would create the foundations of the current village.
Brancepeth Castle was once the residence of the 'Great Barons of Durham, The Neville family', who at that time were also the owners of Raby Castle, near Staindrop. The Nevilles were of Norman origin & they married into a Saxon family of Brancepeth, 'The Bulmers'.
In 1817 Willam Russell of Newbottle' a coal owner, one of the richest and most powerful men in the North of England, creates much of the romantic folly that we see today.
St. Brandon's Church is of Anglo Saxon origin and the Nave is probably 8th century.

High Brandon Walls by drone. Weardale, Co Durham. Abandoned places UK.
Short flight across the fields to another abandoned house or farm in Rookhope, Weardale. Called High Brandon Walls (according to Durham County Council 'Keys to the past' maps). Local farmer told me that people knew the place as Hoggarts - at least I think that's what he said. Flew off course a bit on the return flight due to talking too much and ended up flying over Ambling Gate farm..????oops!

100% RELIABLE LEAFLET DELIVERY
Leaflet Distribution (tm) has local leafleters in Sacriston DH7.
We specialise in leaflet and flyer distribution in Sacriston
and are a very experienced business in this sector, having been
operating since 2004. We also run a cleaning company franchise called
Nationwide Cleaners and one of our own leaflets goes out with each drop,
so we have a vested interest in ensuring it is done properly. Our
Nationwide Cleaners leaflets also enable us to monitor how many calls we
receive from potential cleaning clients and potential cleaners. Very few
other leaflet distribution companies have this advantage. In addition,
to maximise the response rate we only deliver a maximum of 3 leaflets
through each letterbox. We want the highest possible number of calls for
you (and us!) Most competitors just stack 5 or 6 leaflets together and
all of them end up grabbed in 1 hand en route to the bin! They simply do
not have a vested interest in the outcome of the flyer drop.
Beware of leaflet distribution firms whose only method of tracking is
GPS, as I have heard stories of leafleters walking the streets, but not
actually delivering anything or putting 4 leaflets through each
letterbox! With us, that is not possible, as we would immediately notice
the absence of cleaning calls. Our staff know this, so rogue leafleters
would avoid working for us and instead apply for jobs with our competitors!
We are extremely careful who we hire. We operate a profiling system
based on experience to eliminate unsuitable and unreliable potential
staff, but I cannot disclose details on here due to possibly being
accused of discrimination! As a franchise, we have extensive experience
due to honing and refining our business systems.
leafletsdelivered.co.uk has more information or you can phone Denise
on 07806 439 217 . If there is an answerphone, please leave a message with
your phone number and he will ring you back asap the same day.
You can email us at newcastle@leafletsdelivered.co.uk, but if you have many
questions, speaking on the phone is much faster than email.
GUARANTEE. Since we have been in existence since 2004 and only use
meticulously chosen leafleters, we can guarantee your distribution in
Sacriston will be carried out properly. All our leafleters are
experienced and have done many drops for us previously, so there is no
risk for you.
So, if you manage a business and would like more clients, do not
hesitate to contact us to clarify any questions and to get started.
