We are delighted to announce the recent appointment of Lord St Oswald as Honorary Patron of Encore Theatre Company and are very appreciative of his support to our activities. Lord St Oswald is very proud of his support to local charities and organisations and we feel very privileged to have secured his interest in our Company. We will be keeping in touch with Lord St Oswald regarding our activities and hope you will all have an opportunity to meet him in due course.
Nostell Priory has been in Lord St Oswald’s family for over 350 years. Although the house was passed to the National Trust in 1953, the family still retains use of the Adam Wing.
Lord St Oswald took over the running of the Nostell Estate and the associated businesses after the death of his Uncle (the 4th Baron St Oswald) in 1984. Lord St Oswald is particularly proud of the new prestigious, award winning, office development at Nostell. In addition to this, he also runs Appleby Estate in North Lincolnshire.
Lord St Oswald is President and Patron of a number of local charities in the Wakefield district, including the Wakefield Hospice, The Royal British Legion, The Chippendale Society, Wakefield Family History Society, The Friends of Wakefield Chantry Chapel and the National Mining Museum of England. He is also the Vice President and a Vice Chairman of The Yorkshire Society.
Lord St Oswald takes a keen interest in promoting Nostell Priory and the regeneration of the Wakefield district.
Lord St Oswald is married with two grown up children.
