A COUNTRYSIDE worker watched as English Nature's new base in Wensleydale was named in his honour.
Ted Asquith has helped to forge links between the Government and the area's farmers for most of his life, and his dedication was marked when Asquith House opened for business in Leyburn.

Operations director Andy Clements said: "By moving to a new office in Leyburn, English Nature is signalling its continued commitment to collaborative working with farmers and landowners and the best levels of protection for wildlife habitats throughout the Yorkshire Dales.
