The name 'Acle', or Acley, Ackley or Aclea, derives from the Anglo-Saxon for 'oak grove'. Though our group is based in Newton Aycliffe our membership is spread throughout Co Durham. Our group aims to represent and re-enact military and civilian life in the early 10th century in our area; though our group can also portray all periods from the first Viking invasions in the late 8th century, and settlement, through to the Norman invasion in 1066.

​

We have Combat and Craft training on the first Thursday of the month at Middridge Village Hall from 7:00pm to 9:00pm
