History on your doorstep at Bridlington Priory

On 7th September, in the Priory Rooms, the annual ‘History on your Doorstep’ event will showcase organisations that promote and preserve our diverse local heritage.

The Yorkshire Wolds Heritage Trust will have a table.

Yorkshire Vernacular Buildings Study Group will be making a return visit this year to update us on the survey they undertook in Bridlington in May this year.

Local artist and sculptor Steve Carvill will again be on hand to tell us about his work in the Priory, the making of the Gansey Girl sculpture on the harbour, as well as his latest commission, The Barrow Boy on Bridlington Railway Station forecourt. Examples of his work will be on show.

Other participants will include East Yorkshire Library Services, Bridlington Augustinian Society, Bridlington Civic Society, information on the life and career of William Kent and much more.

Also open at the same time is the Baptist Chapel on Applegarth Lane, Bridlington Priory Church and The Bayle Museum. Bridlington Old Town is a short walk to the east and is a fascinating collection of Georgian and Victorian buildings which are part of the historic High Street. At the top of High Street is Hebblethwaite House which is also open to pre-booked tours. The Old Town is well worth exploring.
