The World of James Herriot


The World of James Herriot is a writer's home museum attraction in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, England. The museum covers the life and books of the 20th century veterinarian and author James Herriot (1916–1995) within the Yorkshire Dales.

The museum is located in a 1940s period house with veterinary science exhibits. It was the original practice of James Herriot, at 23 Kirkgate, known as "Skeldale House" in the books.

When James Herriot died in 1995, Hambleton District Council bought the house and started a £1.4 million restoration programme. This included a recreation of the original living quarters and sets from the All Creatures Great and Small television series based on the books. The Austin 7 car used in the TV series is in the garden.
