The market town of Thirsk is perhaps better known as James Herriot’s town. Alf Wight, author of the James Herriot novels, lived and practised as a vet here for over 50 years, with Thirsk becoming his inspiration for the fictional town of Darrowby. The 1940s home of Alf Wight has now become the location of the World of James Herriot, an award winning, all weather indoor museum and attraction. Alf Wight married his wife, Helen, at St Mary’s Church on Kirkgate in November 1941. This church is a unique perpendicular church completed in 1480, with fine examples of medieval glass and 15th Century woodwork.
