SUMMARY:FAMOUS PEOPLE OF NORTH STREET AND SKELDERGATE
DESCRIPTION:This year Darrell Buttery concentrates on North Street and Skeldergate in his ‘famous people’ walking tours. Whilst backwaters now and little visited\, this has not always been the case.

SUMMARY:ST DENYS CHURCH TOUR
DESCRIPTION:The church of St. Denys\, Walmgate\, is first recorded in about 1160 but is built on the foundations of two earlier structures\, an Anglo-Saxon church and a Roman building. Under the patronage of the Percy family\, Earls of Northumberland\, the church reached its peak of size and splendour in the late mediaeval period. Much of its famous collection of stained glass dates from that time. Later it suffered troubles and calamities\, was reduced in size\, and substantially remodelled in 1846-7. The endangered north aisle was restored in 2017-18\, financed by the Heritage Lottery Fund and other generous donors. We will be guided around the church by the church warden\, Dr Charles Kightly. \nMeet at the church entrance \nYCT MEMBERS ONLY EVENT \nTHIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT  – PLEASE CONTACT THE OFFICE TO BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST  Contact:  accounts@yorkcivictrust.co.uk

SUMMARY:Wentworth Woodhouse the Miracle of its Survival
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 15 November (6.15pm – 8.15pm) \nVenue: Friends’ Meeting House\, Friargate\, York\, YO1 9RL \nPeter Brown has made an in-depth study of Earl Fitzwilliam’s Wentworth Woodhouse. Furniture specifically designed and commissioned from the leading firms of the day\, a unique group of sculpture\, some of which is still in situ\, but the rest distributed around the world (the Getty in LA\, alone\, has 9 pieces from the collection). The collection includes silver from the most famous makers\, and a superb collection of English paintings\, notably by Van Dyck\, Sir Joshua Reynolds and Stubbs. \nUsing the family papers\, now held at Sheffield Archive\, plus drawings from Lord Burlington’s practice and those by James ‘Athenian’ Stuart\, this illustrated talk looks to reimagine\, with the assistance of early Country Life photographs\, owners and curators\, the splendour of this spectacular house. \nPeter’s talk celebrates the rescue of this important mansion and shows how the house appeared prior to its abandonment in the mid-twentieth century\, and the dispersal of the collections. \nTickets are non-refundable.

SUMMARY:Pontefract Civic Society
DESCRIPTION:Visit Pontefract for a walking tour with members of Pontefract Civic Society. \nPontefract has a rich heritage\, and in medieval times was regarded as being the third most important settlement in Yorkshire\, behind York and Beverley. Pontefract Castle was regarded by King Edward I as being the Key to the North\, and it remained a royalist stronghold until the three separate periods of siege during the English Civic War. Today’s main town centre is still based on the medieval street pattern\, though with some buildings of the Georgian\, Victorian and Edwardian periods\, plus more modern infill. Our visit will meander through the streets\, highlighting buildings of architectural and social interest. A short diversion will allow us to walk through Friarwood Valley Gardens (a town centre public space)\, and permission is being sought to access Pontefract Town Hall\, which will help to explain the connection to Nelson’s Column! \nMeet outside Pontefract Museum (5 Salter Row\, Pontefract WF8 1BA).  Park in the Pay and Display car park between Stuart Road and Tesco which allows 4 hours parking for £1.70. \nCost £10  \n
