A Yorkshire field society has named a new lecture series after a member of the Religious Society of Friends who died in 2013 at the age of ninety-three.
Upper Wharfedale Field Society will commemorate Friend Richard Harland with biennial lectures on vernacular architecture. The first lecture was delivered on 22 March by David Cant, chairman and archivist of the Yorkshire Vernacular Buildings Study Group.
Richard Harland joined the field society in 1959, two years before he became a Quaker. He helped carry out a survey of Skipton Meeting House for the Yorkshire Vernacular Buildings Study Group and wrote a paper, The Living Stones of the Skipton Quaker Meeting.
