Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Quarrington Hill paid respect to their fallen on Friday 9th when wreathes
were laid along with 47 crosses by children from Cassop Primary School who traditionally marched from the school to lay a wreath. Thanks to Ex Drum Major Rob Self who made the long journey to play the bugle for the occasion.
Their tribute continued on the evening of the 11th November when they joined with 1,000 towns and villages around the UK in a nationwide beacon lighting ceremony. The night started at 18:40 with a short reading by Alec McDonald, followed by a speech by Deputy Lord Lieutenant Derek Winter, and a poem read by Parish Councillor Graham Mills. Beacons were lit by Clive Lawson, Derek Winter and forces veteran Danny Whinham. A big thank you to Parish
Councillor Julie Smith and Clive Lawson for co-ordinating this event but also thanks to all the village residents for coming and showing their support and respect at both ceremonies.
Coxhoe remembered On the 11th hour of the 11th
day of the 11th month 2018 Coxhoe Village remembered all those who had fallen in service of their country. Many attended the Service of Remembrance on the morning at Coxhoe War Memorial where 147 crosses were placed to remember the local men who did not return from WW1 by children from Coxhoe Primary School.
Our Tribute continued in the evening when Coxhoe was honoured to welcome Ms Pam Royle The Deputy Lord Lieutenant who read the ‘Battle’s Over Poem - Tribute to the Millions’.
Mary Egglestone, a long time supporter of the British Legion and long time organiser of Remembrance services in the village, read an extremely poignant reminder of why we had gathered to remember those who had given their lives to allow us to live in peace which she had written. Reverend Alison Richardson and Father Swales also gave commemorations . After which Beacons were lit by Ms Royle, Ann Burn, Forces Veteran Jim Murray, Claire Briton on behalf of our church communities and Lily Woods and Violet Clarke from Coxhoe Primary School. Ms Royle was presented by Coxhoe Primary School children a hand made wreath which incorporated all 147 names of the Men who fell in WW1. Residents then enjoyed refreshments and a superb display provided by Coxhoe History Group in the Village Hall.
Fabulous fireworks 5th November saw Coxhoe Parish Council put on a fantastic community event attended by over 2,000 people from Coxhoe and Quarrington Hill.
Families both young and old enjoyed the event with many expressing the hope we do it again next year. Coxhoe Parish Council would like to thank the local residents, Active Life, Parish Councillors and volunteers for their help and cooperation with the event that went so well.

What’s happening in Quarrington Hill?
Quarrington Hill (Quern Don)
Dates back to Medieval times, with the area producing quern stones and lime for building purposes. The opening of the coalfield saw an influx of miners, working in the surrounding Collieries, requiring houses and amenities. Though it is a small Colliery Village, at its peak it had two chapels, a church, school, shops, a cinema and a number of public houses; however, a great deal of the original village housing has now been demolished.
Crowtrees Colliery 1825 – 1877
The Colliery was sunk and originally owned by William Hedley, a Railway pioneer, with its coal being transported on the Clarence Railway to Stockton for shipment. Robson and Jackson took over the Colliery in 1839 and continued with its modernisation, shipping coal at Hartlepool. The final owner was James Morrison who used the coal for his ironworks at West Cornforth. Nine people lost their lives during the Colliery’s existence.
The area is now a Nature Reserve.

groups with donations received as a result of any
