Project Leader appointed
Local resident Richard Parkin has agreed to lead the Pinfold Heritage Project. Richard is an architect with a special interest in conservation and historical buildings, and his design concept formed the basis of the grant application to the Local Hertitage Initiative.
Richard said
We intend to work closely with the builder to use local materials and create a lasting facility for the village. The new pinfold will provide a focus to the Crossroads area, provide seating that local people say is necessary, and offer an insight into Bishopthorpe and its history for residents and visitors alike.
