ORGANISERS of a heritage fair which will be staged in the childhood home of the Duchess of Kent are hoping to unearth some fascinating family treasures.

The fair will take place in the village hall at Hovingham, near Malton, on Saturday.

Organiser Janice Wood, an expert on local history, is looking for old books, postcards, photographs, documents, press cuttings, and any other material which can be featured in the exhibition.

She said: "We can find out so much about our ancestors through parish registers dating back to 1538."
