Lord Harewood adds: “By realising the value of some of our cottages and reinvestin­g in green energy, we will be able to safeguard the future of Harewood’s historic landscape and the major buildings it contains.” RETIREMENT developer McCarthy & Stone is inviting the over 70s to find out more about its assisted living apartment and its personal support and care services at Windsor House in Sheffield.
