Ackworth & District Heritage Group...
looking after the future of Ackworth's past
Following vandalism to the Village Cross in 1999, local residents came together to found the Heritage Group in 2000. Within a few years funds had been raised and the Cross was restored. As well as continuing to raise funds for further projects, the group hold regular public meetings, and give talks and information to interested parties.
