An archaeologist for 25 years, she has worked in all parts of Britain including the Hebrides and Orkneys during her career. North Yorkshire County Council's countryside department has set up the rural heritage service as an aid to farmers and landowners.
"North Yorkshire has a rich heritage covering thousands of years of human activity," said Linda. "This is to be seen in patterns of hedgerows, dry stone walls and lanes, earthworks in pastures, as well as our great abbeys and castle, and the patterns in growing crops and ploughing fields. It is vital that this heritage is managed effectively for the benefit of future generations." The new service, set up following a review of NYCC's countryside unit, can provide information, advice and help to allay fears she added. "For example, landowners and tenants may be unaware of historic sites on their land or unsure of what to do with a site once it is identified.
"There is often a worry that normal farming operations may be prohibited or that teams of archaeologists will want to excavate on their land."
