THE latest in a series of plaques honouring a town's citizens was unveiled yesterday.
Councillor Hazel Pearson unveiled a plaque to commemorate the Reverend Isaac Benson on the facade of Acklam Hall School.
Mr Benson was born in Windermere in 1795 and under the patronage of Thomas Hustler, was appointed vicar of Acklam and village schoolmaster in 1823.
After being made responsible for St Hilda's parish, he ministered for the next 24 years as Vicar of Middlesbrough.
The plaque in his honour is one of a series being mounted by the Middlesbrough Heritage Group.
Plaque tributes to Jack Hatfield, Brian Clough, Joseph Constantine, Frank Elgee, Cyril Smith and Amos Hinton have also been unveiled in the town
