'Charming and inspirational' - High Sheriff of North Yorkshire's praise for Whitby Museum
Whitby Museum welcomed the High Sheriff of North Yorkshire, Sir Andrew Lawson-Tancred – and it left a good impression as he described the Pannett Park-based museum as “charming and inspirational”.
“What a glorious museum the Whitby Museum is,” he said.
"It is a real chamber of curiosities which you keep alive with your changing displays, events and exhibitions programme.
"We are spreading the word about this charming and inspirational place.”
The High Sheriff and his wife were undertaking a tour of cultural institutions in the area.
