Bouquets boost charity
Sir Tatton Sykes, the eighth baronet, has thrown open his stately home to fundraisers from Marie Curie Cancer Care, which has launched an appeal to boost the number of nurses it provides in East Yorkshire.
Each room has a floral display, the centrepiece of which is 400 fragrant daffodils – the charity's emblem – set out to greet visitors in reception. The displays, which are being provided by Driffield Flower Club, will also be on view today. The charity is hoping to raise 400,000 to fund up to 20 more nurses in the East Riding.
For five days from Tuesday, April 13, visitors to Sledmere will have the chance to see some items which are not normally on display.
