It was only a matter of time until John Grundy got around to writing a book on the landscapes and history of Northumberland.
His new book, John Grundy’s History of Northumberland, is out this week and follows his History of Newcastle volume in 2016.
But John’s passion for regional history and architecture began long before that. He taught English at Highfield School in Felling in Gateshead and then for 20 years at South Tyneside College.
