In 2003 I inherited Gisburne Park Estate on the death of my father and commenced with transforming a tired but unspoilt shooting and hunting estate into a luxury, state of the art holiday village. 50 years ago this site was a state of the art dairy farm that my grandfather built. Sadly with the farming economy as it was, the farm became redundant and remained in a sorry state which inspired my father to apply for planning permission for a holiday park which he was granted. It is this permission that has turned into my lifetime project. The village of Gisburn, little more than 5 minutes walk from the park, received its Charter for Gisburn Fair in 1260. This is one of the earliest mentions of the village. It was granted by Henry III to the Abbot and Monks of Sawley Abbey. At the centre of the village is the ancient church which is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin. One could assume that the foundations for the present church could have been laid circa 1135.
