Poem 197 of 230:  HISTORIC HEXHAM - AUTUMN 2002

 

All hay was made,

    And the sun stayed,

The autumn day

    I made my way,

Via Heddon,

    To old Hexham,

Where I did see:

    The fine abbey,

The ex-gaol

    By the moot-hall,

Plus, holding sports

    Of varied sorts,

The Tynedale

    And the Sele.
