As proud sponsors of this year’s Wetwang Village Scarecrow Festival, we’ve been getting into the community spirit with a tribute to one of Britain’s best-loved industrial icons.

Though a Lancashire native, Dibnah’s later career took him across Yorkshire, where he worked on parish churches in places such as Kirkby Malham and Coniston Cold. Built by festival organisers especially for Harron Homes, our honorary scarecrow is...Read more
