Metaphor is how we receive higher knowing. It’s how the realm of higher wisdom (spirit, the divine, higher consciousness) speaks to us.

Cochrane reviewers have looked at the evidence for moxibustion for turning a baby in a breech position.

And I'm currently writing a summary of what they found for our Birth Information Update which comes out next week.

If you're on my email list, look out for it.

A history of the date-stone on our home 🏡

Sir Thomas Wentworth/ Blackett (1726-92)

Sir Thomas Blackett Baron

Sir Thomas Wentworth (who later changed his name to Blackett) was the 5th Baronet of the Wentworth Baronetcy of West Bretton in Yorkshire. He inherited the title and family seat of Bretton Hall from his father Sir William Wentworth. Sir Thomas’s mother was Diana Blackett, youngest sister of Sir William Blackett III. Her marriage to Sir William Wentworth brought considerable wealth to the family which enabled the couple to design and build the present Bretton Hall, demolishing the old hall and chapel in the process.

When Sir William Blackett III died in 1727 without a male heir, the Blackett lead fortune and associated estates in Northumberland passed to his nephew Sir Walter Calverley Blackett. Sir Walter also died without male issue and under the terms of Sir William III’s will the inheritance was transferred to Sir Thomas Wentworth in 1777. As a condition of his inheritance Sir Thomas was obliged to change his surname to Blackett.

Sir Thomas was a colourful character. His self-professed interests were hunting, horses and horse racing, drinking, women and improving his estate at Bretton Hall (it was Sir Thomas who established the lakes and parkland there). Although he never married, Sir Thomas is believed by some sources to have fathered at least 10 illegitimate children. Little is known about the maternal pedigree of his offspring but it seems that he acknowledged and supported several of them at least. Although Sir Thomas benefited substantially from his inherited Blackett fortune he appears to have taken little interest in the running of the lead company preferring to leave that in the capable hands of his Chief Steward in Northumberland, John Erasmus Blackett.

When Sir Thomas died in 1792 the Bretton Hall estate and the Blackett lead fortune was inherited by his eldest illegitimate daughter, Diana, and her husband Thomas Richard.

The history of our house is tied up completely with the strong lead-mining history of Allenheads. Newhouses was built in 1788 by Sir Thomas Blackett, then owner of the flourishing Beaumont lead mines. The row was called Blackett's New Houses originally and would have provided homes for some of the families of workers in the Allenheads mine.

Lead miners contracted themselves to work for the mine owner by agreeing a price or "bargain" to extract lead from a particular section of the mine. This allowed them to have greater control over their working hours and it was usual for lead-miners to also have a small-holding which provided food for the family. The fields adjacent to Newhouse were originally used for this purpose.

When Newhouses was built there were five separate dwellings with two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs.
Until 1989 all water had to be collected from the well outside.

While the house now has all modern comforts, it remains fundamentally unchanged with very thick walls, real fires, polished floors, open spaces and wonderful views.
