Gillie Lyr Req: Old Parkin Raine the Fiddler (Vin Garbutt (15) RE: Parkin Raine (The Teesdale Fiddler) 21 Jan 06

I was brought up in Barny, and knew Parkin Raine's grandson or great grandson, of the same name. He was a well known historian and worked at the time for Radio Cleveland.   The original Parkin lived in Middleton-in- Teesdale, and tales of his fiddling abound around the area.

I believe that Charles Dickens meet with him, having stayed at the King's Head in Barnard Castle.

Don't know if Parkin is still alive, he was a bachelor so no off spring.
