"You Really Got A Hold On Me"
Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinkin' of you
You treat me badly, I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I don't want you, but I need you
Don't wanna kiss you, but I need to
You do me wrong now, my love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter, tighter
I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
I wanna split now, I can't quit now
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
(Please, squeeze)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
I said you really got a hold on me
(I said you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You know, you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You know, you really got a hold on me)
I said you really got a hold on me
(I said you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You know, you really got a hold on me)

Hexham Abbey is a Grade I listed place of Christian worship dedicated to St Andrew, in the town of Hexham, Northumberland, in Northeast England. Originally built in AD 674, the Abbey was built up during the 12th century into its current form, with additions around the turn of the 20th century. Since the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537, the Abbey has been the parish church of Hexham. In 2014 the Abbey regained ownership of its former monastic buildings, which had been used as Hexham magistrates' court, and subsequently developed them into a permanent exhibition and visitor centre, telling the story of the Abbey's history.
There has been a church on the site for over 1300 years since Etheldreda, Queen of Northumbria made a grant of lands to St Wilfrid, Bishop of York c.674. Of Wilfrid's Benedictine abbey, which was constructed almost entirely of material salvaged from nearby Roman ruins, the Saxon crypt still remains; as does a frith stool, a 7th/8th century cathedra or throne. For a little while around that time it was the seat of a bishopric.
In the year 875, Halfdene (Halfdan Ragnarsson) the Dane ravaged the whole of Tyneside and Hexham Church was plundered and burnt to the ground.
About 1050, one Eilaf was put in charge of Hexham, although as treasurer of Durham, he probably never went there. Eilaf was instructed to rebuild Hexham Church, which then lay in utter ruin. His son Eilaf II completed the work, probably building in the Norman style.
In Norman times, Wilfrid's abbey was replaced by an Augustinian priory. The current church largely dates from c.1170–1250, built in the Early English style of architecture. The choir, north and south transepts and the cloisters, where canons studied and meditated, date from this period.
The east end was rebuilt in 1858. The Abbey was largely rebuilt during the incumbency of Canon Edwin Sidney Savage, who came to Hexham in 1898 and remained until 1919. This mammoth project involved re-building the nave, whose walls incorporate some of the earlier church, and the restoration of the choir. The nave was re-consecrated on 8 August 1908.
The church was recorded as Grade I listed in 1951. In 1996 an additional chapel was created at the east end of the north choir aisle; named St Wilfrid's Chapel, which offers a place for prayer or quiet reflection.
Four of the stained glass windows in the Abbey are the work of Jersey-born stained glass artist Henry Thomas Bosdet who was commissioned by the Abbey. The east window was the first project and was installed about 1907. Two smaller windows followed and the large west window was installed in 1918.
The crypt is a plain structure of four chambers. Here were exhibited the relics which were a feature of Wilfrid's church. It consists of a chapel with an ante-chapel at the west end, two side passages with enlarged vestibules and three stairways. The chapel and ante-chapel are barrel-vaulted. All the stones used are of Roman workmanship and many are carved or with inscriptions. One inscription on a slab, partially erased, is:
IMP •CAES •L •SEP • • •
PERTINAX •ET •IMPC • •
AVR •ANTONINV • • • •
VS • • • • • • • • •
• • • •HORTE • • •
VEXILLATION • • • • •
FECERVNT SVB • • • • •
Translated, this means The Emperor Lucius Septimus Severus Pius Pertinax and his sons the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius Augustus and Publius Geta Caesar the cohorts and detachments made this under the command of ….. The words erased are of great interest: after the Emperor Geta was murdered by his brother Caracalla, an edict was made at Rome ordering that whenever the two names appeared in combination that of Geta was to be erased. This so-called damnatio memoriae was carried out, but so poorly that the name can still be read.
The first diocese of Lindisfarne was merged into the Diocese of York in 664. York diocese was then divided in 678 by Theodore of Tarsus, forming a bishopric for the country between the Rivers Aln and Tees, with a seat at Hexham and/or Lindisfarne. This gradually and erratically merged back into the bishopric of Lindisfarne. Eleven bishops of Hexham followed St. Eata, of which six were saints.
No successor was appointed in 821, the condition of the country being too unsettled. A period of disorder followed the Danish devastations, after which Hexham monastery was reconstituted in 1113 as a priory of Austin Canons, which flourished until its dissolution under Henry VIII. Meantime the bishopric had been merged in that of Lindisfarne, which latter see was removed to Chester-le-Street in 883, and thence to Durham in 995.
The tombstone of Flavinus is one of the most significant Roman finds in Britain. It can be found in the Abbey in front of a blocked doorway at the foot of the Night Stair. Flavinus was a Roman cavalry officer who died aged 25 in the first century. The slab is thought to have once stood near the fort of Coria near Corbridge and was brought here as a building stone in the 12th century. The slab was laid face-upward in the foundations of the cloister and was rediscovered in 1881.
In 1833 a hoard of approximately 8000 stycas were discovered whilst a grave was being dug in the Campey Hill area close to the north transept. The Hexham Hoard was concealed circa 850. It was composed of coins from the reigns of Eanred, Aethelred II and Redwulf, as well as coins of two archbishops Eanbald and Wigmund.
Hexham is a market town and civil parish in Northumberland, England, on the south bank of the River Tyne, formed by the confluence of the North Tyne and the South Tyne at Warden nearby, and close to Hadrian's Wall. Hexham was the administrative centre for the Tynedale district from 1974 to 2009. In 2011, it had a population of 13,097.
Smaller towns and villages around Hexham include Corbridge, Riding Mill, Stocksfield and Wylam to the east, Acomb and Bellingham to the north, Allendale to the south and Haydon Bridge, Bardon Mill and Haltwhistle to the west. Newcastle upon Tyne is 25 miles (40 km) to the east and Carlisle 37 miles (60 km) to the west.
Toponym
The name Hexham derives from the Old English Hagustaldes ea and later Hagustaldes ham from which the modern form (with the "-ham" element) derives. Hagustald is related to the Old High German hagustalt, denoting a younger son who takes land outside the settlement; the element ea means "stream" or "river" and ham is the Old English form of the Modern English "home" (and the Scots and Northern English "hame").
History
Hexham Abbey originated as a monastery founded by Wilfrid in 674. The crypt of the original monastery survives, and incorporates many stones taken from nearby Roman ruins, probably Corbridge or Hadrian's Wall.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Manuscript D: Cotton Tiberius B IV) records the murder of King Ælfwald by Sicga at Scythlecester (which may be modern Chesters) on 23 September 788:
This year Alfwald, king of the Northumbrians, was slain by Siga, on the ninth day before the calends of October; and a heavenly light was often seen on the spot where he was slain. He was buried at Hexham in the church.
Her wæs Alfwald Norðhymbra cyning ofslægen fram Sigan on .viiii. Kalendas Octobris, 7 heofonlic leoht wæs lome gesewen þær þær he ofslægen wæs, 7 he wæs bebyrged on Hagustaldesee innan þære cyrican.
Like many towns in the Anglo-Scottish border area and adjacent regions, Hexham suffered from the border wars between the kingdoms of Scotland and England, including attacks from William Wallace who burnt the town in 1297. In 1312, Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland, demanded and received £2000 from the town and monastery in order for them to be spared a similar fate. In 1346 the monastery was sacked in a later invasion led by King David II of Scotland.
In 1464 during the Wars of the Roses, the Battle of Hexham was fought somewhere to the south of the town; the actual site is disputed. The defeated Lancastrian commander, Henry Beaufort, 3rd Duke of Somerset, was executed in Hexham marketplace. There is a legend that Queen Margaret of Anjou took refuge after the battle in what is known as The Queen's Cave, where she was accosted by a robber; the legend formed the basis for an 18th-century play by George Colman the Younger (The Battle of Hexham); but it has been established that Queen Margaret had fled to France by the time the battle took place. The Queen's Cave in question is on the south side of the West Dipton Burn, to the southwest of Hexham.
Until 1572, Hexham was the administrative centre of the former Liberty or Peculiar of Hexhamshire.
In 1715, James Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Derwentwater, raised the standard for James Francis Edward Stuart in Hexham Market place.
"Hexham" was used in the Borders as a euphemism for "Hell". Hence the term "To Hexham wi' you an' ye’r whussel!", recorded in 1873, and the popular expression "Gang to Hexham!". "Hexham-birnie" is derived from the term and means "an indefinitely remote place".
Hexham riot
In 1761, the Hexham Riot took place in the Market Place when a crowd protesting about changes in the criteria for serving in the militia were fired upon by troops from the North Yorkshire Militia. Some 45 protesters were killed, earning the Militia the sobriquet of The Hexham Butchers.
Notable buildings
Hexham's architectural landscape is dominated by Hexham Abbey. The current church largely dates from c. 1170–1250, in the Early English Gothic style of architecture. The choir, north and south transepts and the cloisters, where canons studied and meditated, date from this period.
The abbey stands at the west end of the market place, which is home to the Shambles, a covered market built by Sir Walter Blackett in 1766; it is a Grade II* listed building.
At the east end of the market place stands the Moot Hall, originally commissioned as a gatehouse that was part of the defences of the town. The Moot Hall, which is considered one of the best examples of a medieval courthouse in the north of England, is a Grade I listed building.
The Old Gaol, behind the Moot Hall on Hallgates, was one of the first purpose-built jails in England. It was built between 1330 and 1333 and is a Grade I listed building.
The Leazes on Shaws Lane is a Grade II listed mansion built in 1853 by John Dobson for William Kinsopp.
Hexham Library and the Queen's Hall Art Centre can both be found in the Queen's Hall, completed in 1866. The building contains the Brough Local Studies Collection which is the second-largest local history collection in the county.
Dare Wilson Barracks, the home of X Company, 5th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was completed in 1891.
Governance
Hexham is in the parliamentary constituency of Hexham. Guy Opperman has been the Conservative member of parliament for Hexham since May 2010. In 2023 Joe Morris was selected to stand as the Labour Party candidate at the next General Election. The town comes under Northumberland County Council and contains three wards: Hexham Central with Acomb, Hexham East and Hexham West.
The Hexham Courant is the local newspaper, serving Hexham and Tynedale since 1864. It was first launched by J. Catherall & Co., and at that time espoused the Liberal cause. It later absorbed the Conservative-supporting Hexham Herald. In 1977, CN Group acquired the newspaper.
From within the Hexham Courant office a webcam overlooking Hexham Abbey can be viewed on the following website: Hexham Courant
Local news and television programmes are provided by BBC North East and Cumbria and ITV Tyne Tees.
Hexham's local radio stations are BBC Radio Newcastle on 103.7 FM, Capital North East on 105.8 FM, Heart North East on 96.4 FM, Smooth North East on 101.2 FM and Metro Radio on 103.2 FM.
Horse racing from the town's course on Yarridge Heights is regularly featured on telecasts by Racing UK and other selected broadcasters. Regular sound broadcasts of cricket commentary for Tynedale CC can be heard via the internet during summer on Spreaker Internet Radio.
Education
Hexham is served by state first, middle and high schools and uses the three-tier system as does the rest of Northumberland. Queen Elizabeth High School, partly located in a former hydropathic hotel, is the town's major educational centre. The nearest private school is Mowden Hall School, a prep school located 10 miles (16 km) away in Stocksfield.
Awards
Hexham won the town award in the 2005 Britain in Bloom awards. In the same year, it was also named England's Favourite Market Town by the magazine Country Life.
Hexham was voted the happiest place to live in Britain, 2019 and 2021.
Economy
The major employer in Hexham is Egger (UK) Limited.
Hexham had been long famous for its manufacture of leather. Wright (1823) gives some statistics
77 men & boys employed as Leather dressers and Glove-cutters, 40 boys employed as Dusters and 1,111 women employed as Sewers. Skins dressed annually were 80,000, and 18,000 skins of dressed leather were imported. From these were made and exported annually 23,504 dozens of pairs of gloves. Dutch Oker was used in the processing, but local fell clay could be used if necessary.
Tanning was a necessary allied industry and there were four tanneries, employing a score of men. In a year they dealt with 5,000 hides and 12,000 calf skins. They supplied local saddlers, bootmakers and cobblers.
Hexham also had 16 master hatters, and the trade employed 40 persons. There were two woollen manufactories, worked by steam power, and two rope manufactories. There were corn water mills below the bridge. A windmill on the Sele was ruinous, but there was one still working on Tyne Green. It was, and still is a flourishing market, including a mart for cattle and other farm animals.
In Hexham the Subskimmer was designed and made by Submarine Products. The town is also the site of a chipboard factory owned by the Austrian firm Egger Retail Products GmbH, which vents steam which can be seen from miles away.
Botanical brewery Fentimans is based in Hexham.
Shopping
Hexham has many shops commonly found in other English market-towns, with five central supermarkets (Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Marks and Spencer and Waitrose), multiple clothes shops, charity shops, banks, estate agents, antique shops and chemists. Cafes and coffee shops are also common in Hexham, from commercial chains (Costa) to family run independents.
Sport
Hexham's racecourse is at Yarridge Heights in the hills above the town, with National Hunt (steeplechase) races throughout the year.
Tynedale Cricket Club
The town is also home to Tynedale Cricket Club, who play their home matches on Prior's Flat. (NE46 3EW)
Founded in 1888, the club has had its most successful period over the most recent 40 years when they dominated the Northumberland County League, before starting the 21st century by winning several championships in the newly created Northumberland & Tyneside Senior Cricket League.
In late 2017 Tynedale CC became a founder member of the new Northumberland & Tyneside Cricket League (NTCL), formed when a merger between NTSCL & Northumberland Cricket League was voted through by constituent clubs at the inaugural AGM held at Kingston Park Rugby Ground.
This new league will comprise six divisions with divisions 5 and 6 regionalised into north and south sections.

The fountain is Carl Milles' last completed work of art. At the request of the city council of Kansas City, the artist made a monument dedicated to a man from the city who had for many years, anonymously, donated money to charity. Carl Milles chose the legend of St Martin as a subject for the fountain. The holy Martin was a saint from the fourth century who was very charitable and gave to the poor. Here he is cutting a corner of his cloak to give the reclining beggar as clothes. This is also an equestrian sculpture, and just like Folke Filbyter, the horse and rider are twisting in different directions, thereby creating a powerful movement.
On either side of the rider there is an angel and a faun.
The angel, a naked boy angel, sits lost in thought in a strange position with one leg under him and the other at an angle to the body. Carl Milles describes in a letter that this angel is scratching a mosquito bite. He wears a watch on his left wrist. A human angel, in other words. He has wings, but he also uses a watch and gets bitten by mosquitoes. Like many of Milles' angels, it belongs both on the earth and in the heavens.
The faun is hiding behind a bush and watching the angel. Fauns can be found in the classical myths and are a mixture between a human and a goat. This one is more animal than man with a hairy lower body, bearded face and horns.
In the myths, the faun belonged to the company of the god of wine Dionysos and all that this entailed with partying and sexual adventures. One assumption, therefore, is that the faun represents the corporeal or the earthbound, while the angel represents the spiritual or heavenly.
Dedicated in 1849, the Roman Catholic Church is named after "The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary". The parish boundaries include the areas of Rathcoole and Brittas and works in conjunction with the neighbouring parish of St. Finian's, Newcastle.

Over white mountains and black rivers
above green valleys and blue creeks
The essense of our ancestors fleet
Past yellow glades and dark forests
– and the grey cloud in the pure sky
the shadow of the black and white eagle fly
And throughout all over the world
through the soft grass on the meadow
The whispers of the Elders still flow
Beneath the warm sun and the cold moon
below the sea of stars way up high
The ancient trees grasp for the sky
It is the shadows of an ancient time
– echoes of what once used to be
Nothing more than a silent memory

St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Walkerville – the first completed church opened free of debt in South Australia and the third oldest Anglican church in South Australia.
The late Mr F Halcomb, in 1914, undertook the commendable task of publishing a neat comprehensive brochure, collating facts and figures associated with St Andrew's Church from the days of 1848.
The original building stood in the solitary clearing with no fences anywhere, and in the winding bush track, deep rutted by winter rains and builders' carts, the little congregation of 40 or 50 souls assembled on August 23, at the call of the bell.
The district at that time was a sprinkling of huts and cottages scattered among the indigenous trees and bushes — wattle, peppermint, and a few pines, and large gumtrees lining the river flats.
Bishop Short, who arrived for the service in pouring rain, consecrated the church, and Archdeacon Hale preached the sermon.
The church had the distinction of being the first completed and opened free of debt in South Australia. The building was of lime-stone, with brick corners. The length of the body was 40 ft, and the width 25 ft, and the tower (which was completed) 10 ft at the base. The chancel was 10 ft deep, and the entire length of the building was 60 ft.
The interior arrangement was very neat and effective, the seats with Gothic heads being all open, with the exception of two pews on each side of the door. The pulpit, desk, and chancel rails were in unison with the whole, and the chancel window of stained glass was very rich. Provision was made for seating 180 people. The cost of the building was between £600 and £700. The choice of "St. Andrew" as patron saint is said to have been due to the patriotic sentiments of Mr J W McDonald, who was a prominent founder as well as a perfervid Scot.
The building was far from being orientated, its axis being almost due north-west and south east. The trust deed was countersigned by 19 original subscribers: the deed was dated March 12, 1853, the trustees being Augustus Short, Bishop of Adelaide, and Mr Joseph Gould, of the Para.
The Rev Frederick Charles Platts, represented St Andrew's in 1851, and remained until September, 1854. He resided across the river, and in flood time, when the Hackney Bridge was swept away, he had to ride round by Thebarton to get to church.
During interregnum the Revs Richardson Reid, George Farr (head master of St Peter's College), and John Fulford, were among the number who assisted to maintain the services.
In 1856 the Rev Daniel Packard was licensed to Walkerville, and during his incumbency, which lasted until 1862, the church materially advanced: the chancel and transepts were built, the glebe land was given, and the parsonage in Warwick Street was bought. Burial in the church ground was also stopped about that time: and there are now only two graves traceable there.
The additions to the church in 1857 were built by Messrs Frost & Watson, and being designed on a larger plan than the original building, the scale was set for the further extensions of 1879. Mr Edward Hamilton was the architect.
Liberal contributions for the work were made by Messrs John Ellis, Kent Hughes, C B Young, and Col Freeling. A feature reminiscent of old English customs was the building of two large square pews in the transepts for the use of the benefactors. In the year 1861 the number of communicants was shown as 36. Mr Packard died in 1862, the victim of a fever which raged in the district.
Mr Packard was succeeded in October, 1862, by the Rev George Dove, of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, who, about a year and a half previously, had come to the colony from a curacy in East Dereham, in Norfolk, England. His successful leadership for so long a period as 49 years impressed upon the church a character of attached and sober churchmanship, which has gained it an honoured name throughout the diocese. To that period belonged the building as now completed, and (with one exception) the furnishing.
Mr Dove was made Archdeacon of Adelaide in 1903, and held that office until 1911. St Andrew's is reputed to have been the first church in the colony to establish the regular Sunday communion in the early morning.
With the further settlement of the district, steps were taken in 1877 to enlarge the building. A contract for the new nave was taken by Mr G A Selway, for £1,340, the plans being prepared by Mr J H Grainger. The little old tower was de-molished in the following year. During the rebuilding, the transepts were used for services. The new church was first used on May 31, 1879.
In addition to the nave, the foundations of a tower were put in, but those were found inadequate when bells were decided upon, and they served for the base of the vestry.
The total cost of the building, apart from the tower, was about £2,000.
The position of the tower was altered from the side of the nave, as in the original plan, to its eastern corner. Mr Frank Naish was the architect, and Mr John Varley secured the contract, the total cost being £834. The tower, which is 70 ft. in height, was completed in May 1886.
An order had meanwhile been sent home to Messrs Mears & Stainbank, of Whitechapel, for a peal of six bells. These were tuned to the key of F sharp, and were passed by Dr Bridge, organist of Westminster Abbey.
Their total weight was 2½ tons, and they cost £517.
Having been duly mounted, their chimes were first heard on September 20, 1886. Mr William Knight has been a bellringer since 1888.
The late Mr Kent Hughes had bequeathed £240 towards the building of the tower and his widow had promised to furnish it with a clock in memory of her husband. That gift was installed about the same time as the bells, and was the work of J W Benson, the famous London maker. The clock has two faces, and provision has been made for a third dial.
In 1902 the sons of the Hon G C Hawker, offered to build a choir vestry for the church, and the work was carried out forthwith. The vestry stands in memory of the parents of the givers.
