Community Week – the History of Wetherby

Friday 08 November 2024

Following a visit from the Mayor of Wetherby this morning, the children have been learning about how people chose to live in Wetherby during the Bronze Age. The location next to the River Wharfe was a significant advantage and Wetherby became even more significant when a bridge was built to cross the river.

Important places, events and people are commemorated around our market town with blue plaques.  We have enjoyed researching the blue plaques and made our own.

Help at home: Learn more about the history of our wonderful market town by following the blue plaque trail.  Further information can be found here: https://www.wetherbycivicsociety.org.uk/blueplaquetrail/
