The Leeds monument to American freedom

Hidden West Yorkshire

Built in 1783, Parlington Arch near Aberford reflects Sir Thomas Gascoigne’s support for American independence. Once at risk of being sent to the US, it remains in local hands, valued by the community for its history and as a place for everyday walks.
