Parts of Pontefract are like stepping back into Georgian or Regency Britain. You almost expect a coach to pull up outside and the passengers go into an inn for dinner. The Grade II listed Red Lion was remodelled in 1776 by Robert Adam for Sir Rowland Winn of Nostell Priory..

A day off today and a fairly impromptu trip to the breathtaking @Wentworth_House with my @Historic_Houses pass. A fantastic history, stunning interiors and inspiring displays. Staff friendly, informative and enthusiastic. Sadly no time to peruse the gardens but I'll be back!

We’re deeply concerned following the UK Government’s announcement yesterday. After reviewing the plans, we’ve put together our thoughts on what is wrong with the proposals and our recommendations. Read more:
Today, the UK Government announced plans to reform disability benefits. Changes to PIP will affect people with Parkinson’s so we’re carefully reviewing the proposals, making sure the needs of our community are represented and addressed. Here is our reaction.
