Heritage Open Days 2005
AS the nation opens its doors to places which
people might simply not know about or other places where they
normally aren't allowed entrance, Harrogate Borough Council is
offering free entry to one of its most famous heritage sites
Knaresborough Castle and Courtyard Museum as part of the Heritage
Open Days 2005.
There will be no charge for visitors the Castle and Museum on
Saturday and Sunday 10 and 11 September.
Tours have also been arranged on 8 and 9 September at
Harrogate's Stonefall Crematorium and grounds.
These tours will take in the quiet and beautiful gardens of
remembrance, the art displays, the peaceful and Romanesque
Columbarium where four new marble seat benches have been provided
and are available for dedication, the Hebrew Cemetery and the War
Graves Commission Cemetery where 1000 Canadian, New Zealand and
Australian airmen are buried.
The tours will take place between 9.00am and 4.00pm and
visitors are asked to call at the Stonefall Office on
arrival.
The Friends of Pateley Bridge Cemetery Group are also inviting
visitors to
St Mary's Churchyard in Pateley Bridge on 10 and 11 September
where they will offer escorted tours around the church ruins and
tower, which is normally inaccessible to the
public. Tours will take place between 10.00 am
and
4.00pm.
