A COUPLE restoring an historic North Yorkshire house have appealed for help as they research a name they found etched in a window. Naomi Ward said she and her husband Byron discovered the name ‘Francis Mary Adams’ in an upstairs bedroom after they began repairing Grade 1 listed Camblesforth Hall in Camblesforth, near Selby. “The hall was built in around 1690 and until fairly recently it was a working farm but in the last 10 years it has unfortunately fallen into a state of disrepair, to the extent that it was almost placed on the Heritage at Risk register,” she said. “It desperately needed someone to take on the challenge of restoring this beautiful and unique building.”
