Christmas at Yorkshire's stately homes and Whitby's link to Dracula: The Yorkshire Post features highlights this week

In case you missed them, here’s a look at some of the long-reads in The Yorkshire Post features section this week.

This week, we've run a Deck the Halls special series, going behind the scenes to explore Christmas at some of the region's stately homes. We've featured Harewood House, Treasurer's House, Castle Howard, Burton Agnes Hall and Gardens and Chatsworth House.

We've also looked at how a new exhibition in Leeds is shining a light on the vital role of migration for the health service, telling the stories of migrant NHS workers in the region.
