Heritage Trail Sponsorship
This is where we say a very BIG thank you to all those businesses and individuals who have sponsored one of our Heritage Trails. Through generous sponsoring we can generate a regular income which we use to look after the Woodhams Stone Collection. We ask for £60 or £45 a month to sponsor the Malton or Norton trails respectively. Use our email address at the bottom of this page to contact us if this interests you. And if you are taking the trails please support the local businesses that have sponsored them.

Our Whitewall Quarry has supplied Aggregates and Building products to the people of Malton & Norton for nearly 100 years. W Clifford Watts are proud to have worked with the local economies, including agriculture, horse racing, commercial, the construction industry and private customers. We wish to support the Woodhams Stone Collection in its efforts to promote and educate. We believe the networks of trade and community are as important today as they were in the past. The trails will hopefully help people realise a sense of place, and understand that in an increasingly globalised world, local economies are worth preserving.
