Sarah Woon of Gateways School won our Leeds Heat and spoke about her local hero: Lady Elizabeth Hastings.

Lady Elizabeth Hastings (19 April 1682 - 21 December 1739), known as Lady Betty, was a benefactor and the daughter of the 7th Earl of Huntingdon. Her brother George became the 8th Earl. On her father's death in 1701 her brother passed on to her the estate of Ledston or Ledstone Hall, near Castleford, West Yorkshire, and she lived there until her death.
