James Rewcastle
James Rewcastle (c.1802–1867) was the first secretary of the Newcastle Temperance movement, and a songwriter born in the Newcastle area. His most well-known song is possibly “Jackey and Jenny”.
== Early life ==
James Rewcastle was born c. 1802 (some suggest 1798) in (or in the neighbourhood of, Newcastle, Northumberland.
Little is known of his early life, but he was a printer by trade and also had a bookshop in Dean Street, Newcastle. He was a keen supporter of the Temperance movement and was there at the start of the movement in Newcastle.〔Guy Hayler (editor), ''The Northern Temperance Year Book for 1894'' (1893), p. 69; (archive.org ).〕 He published one of their earliest publications, the ''Temperance Advocate''.
When minister Edwin Paxton Hood, who during his years held several pastorates, began to liven up his temperance meetings with his own songs, including “As I 'woke one morning” and “It was in dark December" and others, James Rewcastle decided that he too could do that, and penned several tunes, the best known being "Jackey and Jenny". His songs appear to have been sung by a co-worker at the movement, Fenwick Pickup.
