I WAS interested to read Chris Titley's excellent feature in last Monday's Evening Press about Dr J B Morrell.

I was, however, surprised that there was no mention about York Conservation Trust Ltd, another of JBM's creations originally started in 1945.

This must rank alongside his bequest of the land for the university as a great gift to York because we now own and maintain more than 60 buildings in the city most of which are listed. For more details about the trust visit our website: www.YorkConservationTrust.org

Your support to prevent the demolition of Burton Croft will be welcomed. Philip Thake,

Chief Executive,

Bootham,

York.
