In Focus
Kirbuster Museum stands beside a minor road a mile north east of Twatt, on

A Proper Person to be Detained by Catherine Czerkawska (4 July 2019 ).
On Christmas Night in 1881, John Manley, a poor son of Irish immigrants living in the slums of Leeds, was fatally stabbed in a drunken quarrel.
The murderer went on the run, knowing that capture could see him hang. A few generations later, author Catherine Czerkawska begins to
tease out the truth behind her great-great-uncle's tragic death. But she uncovers far more than she bargained for. Catherine gives voice to people
often maligned by society and silenced by history.
