EDWARDIAN suffragette Amelia Utterthwaite will be on hand during the bank holiday weekend to help visitors shed some light on the history of Whitby Abbey.
The costumed character will be joined by her friend and keen amateur photographer Dr Henry Appleby at the clifftop attraction to welcome visitors.
During her life, Amelia was a strong proponent of the suffragette movement and fan of Gothic literature, including Bram Stoker's Dracula, which was inspired by Whitby Abbey.
The characters will be at the abbey on Sunday and Monday.
The abbey has recently been provided with a new museum and visitor centre by English Heritage, which has also arranged the bank holiday event.
Admission is £3.60 for adults, £2.70 for concessions and £1.80 for children and free for English Heritage members. For details call (01947) 603568.
