Explore the traditional market town of Thirsk, home of author James Herriot and birth place of Thomas Lord, the founder of Lord Cricket ground. Visitors can see the World of James Herriot, an award-winning museum which features the man's original home recreated to how it was in the 1940's, TV sets from All Creatures Great and Small, an interactive gallery for children and 3 rooms dedicated to the history of veterinary medicine.
