Who Are HideBound?
Hidebound Ltd is the result of a business partnership between Stephen Roberts and Gillian Sewell, based on the High Pennines in Upper Teesdale.

Stephen Roberts and Gillian Sewell
|
The area, at the conjunction of Co. Durham, North Yorkshire and Cumbria, was, centuries ago, part of the ancient kingdom of Northumbria, meaning all that land north of the Humber.
|
 |
The High Pennines are bleak in winter, grand in summer and rich in history. Our village castle, as shown in the photograph, was built during the reign of
Henry II. |
Bowes Castle | |
| Gillian was formerly a teacher and Stephen a Chartered Surveyor, callings very different from the hand craft which we now enjoy. |

 |
We are both totally self taught tankard and jack makers and are forever bouncing different ideas between us in our quest for unique, high quality, hand-crafted items which also have a practical use. |
|
|
There is a local community web-site for the village of Bowes, which also provides information on the local area, a context to our work with traditional crafts.
