The English Heritage Angel Awards

Posted on by Listify Me
I was intrigued to hear of the passion that led the six people who make up the congregation of St Andrew, Kirby Grindalythe in Ryedale, to raise enough money to restore the 12th-century tower, roof and stained glass of this Grade II* listed church, eulogised by Sir John Betjeman as one of the nation’s finest. We also heard of St Mark’s, a jewel-like Grade II listed chapel at Ten Mile Bank in Norfolk, little changed since it was built in 1846. The original pulpit and poppyhead Read more [...]

Partially concealed from view by two large late-1800s magnolia trees is Napa’s stately and elegant 1870s Williams Smith house. This classic Second Empire style residence and National Register of Historic Places property was lovingly returned to its former glory by the caring hand and meticulous eye of the late Doris Dawson.
