Miners strong from distant Harwood
Troops from Staindrop merrily come
Marching lightly to the beat of the drum
And stoutly with the foe will cope,
Old Boldron, Gilmonby and Hope,
Startford and Bowes with lion heart
Will firmly act their lion heart. IN February 1804, a beacon blazed high on Langley Fell above Barnard Castle so that all Teesdale was aware that Napoleon Bonaparte and the feared French had invaded and now was the time to send brave young men and boys to defend the dale. And, as this performance poem shows, every community in every remote cranny rallied and sent their youth marching into Barney to see off Boney. Indeed, the poem is practically an A to Z of all the scattered settlements in the dale, and it features, appropriately, in a new book, A-Z of Barnard Castle & Teesdale, which is published today and officially launched next Saturday.
