Isobel Chaytor (nee Scott) waqs born in 1890 and started life as a baker's daughter in a shop in Darlington. She then met and married one of the Chaytor family from Croft and moved into Croft Hall and Witton Castle. She was a daring and some would say fearless woman, who at the age of 42 flew an open topped Gypsy Moth to Australia and survived!

She ended her life on the island of Madeira, unloved. No one went to her funeral. Along the way she lived the ‘high life', had many adventures, and got into many scrapes. A life if not well lived, was lived to the full.

And why were the space shuttle booster rockets long and thin when the engineers wanted them to be short and fat?

MayFest Quiz Night. Richmond Town Hall. 19:00. Join us for a fabulous quiz with top quizmaster, Dave Tucker. Tickets available from Richmond Information Centre. £10 including a Pie and Peas supper.

Football was an integral part of Green Howards life. Soldiers were equally comfortable in their football boots or their ‘battle bowler' (army slang for a tin or ‘Brodie' helmet). Team pride, whether football or regimental, went hand-in-hand but this exhibition avoids picking a side (which for some staff was very hard!). So with no VAR, no offside rule, no simulation and no relegation, we hope you enjoy discovering more about the things you thought you knew, and much about the thing's you didn't.

Featuring golden boy Wilf Mannion, the popularity of women's football, football boredom busters in prisoner of war camps and the only professional footballer to be awarded a Victoria Cross, Donald Simpson Bell, Battle Bowlers & Football Boots tells the story of those who represented their countr
