Yorkshire Heritage Summit on 13th May

Wakefield Historical Society is a member of the Yorkshire Society Heritage Group and members of our society attended the Yorkshire Heritage Summit at Skipton Town Hall on 13th May. Societies and organisations from across Yorkshire had stalls and we enjoyed exchanging information with them. Apart from other more familiar societies we also learnt about the Heritage Walks at Snaith, the earliest continually used Quaker Meeting House at Airton in the Dales, and the Yorkshire Gardens Trust which has researched the gardens at Fryston Hall near Castleford. Wakefield was represented by a stall about the Heritage Framework which was launched in September last year.
