A MUSEUM dedicated to the Yorkshire vet who inspired the hit TV series All Creatures Great and Small has appointed a new director. The World of James Herriot in Thirsk is dedicated to the life of local vet Alf Wight – who wrote the original All Creatures book using the pen-name James Herriot. It is based in the building in Thirsk which doubled as both Wight’s surgery and his home for many years. Since 2012 the museum has been run by a team of Herriot enthusiasts - including the vet’s son Jim Wight and daughter Rosie Page. It has now appointed as its new marketing director John Gallery, a marketing and hotel management expert who was, for 12 years, the general manager of the York Marriott Hotel.
