CELEBRATIONS marking the 700th anniversary of Ripley Castle, near Harrogate, are continuing with an outdoor photographic exhibition in aid of cancer research.
The castle is the home of Sir Thomas and Lady Ingilby. The Ingilbys are believed to be among the oldest families in the country to still live in the same residence.
People, Places and Faces, which runs until September 20 in the castle's gardens, is the work of Javan Liam, a Harrogate photographer, who has included in the exhibition images from his travels around the world.
The photographs are for sale and the proceeds are being donated to the PPR Foundation which is launching its appeal at the exhibition to fund research into brain tumours. It was set up by Pam Roberts, of Harrogate, whose husband died of a brain tumour. Two charities, Candlelighters and Andrea's Gift, have undertaken to build a research laboratory in Leeds. The £1m that Mrs Roberts is aiming to raise will fund a researcher for the unit.
Lady Ingilby said: "We wanted to raise money for charity during our celebrations and it seemed more than fitting to help Pam Roberts, whose husband Peter was a dear friend of ours, to launch the PPR Foundation."
