Since the "heritage at risk" register launched 20 years ago, external, more than two thirds of the original entries have been saved including a gatehouse in West Yorkshire.

The Kirklees Priory Gatehouse in Brighouse, had been on the register since 1998, but following repairs funded by Historic England, it was removed last year.

Although most of it was built in the early 16th Century, parts of its timber framing came from a medieval nunnery founded on the site during the reign of Henry II (1154-89).

The gatehouse is claimed to be where Robin Hood died - folklore say the prioress was his aunt and she sheltered him when he fled from the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Another version of the story says Robin Hood fell ill and went to visit his cousin at the gatehouse, so that he could be bled and restored to health.

However, his cousin conspired with her lover, Sir Roger of Doncaster, to kill Robin. So she opened a vein, locked Robin in the upper room of the gatehouse, and let him bleed to death.

It's also said he decided his own burial site by shooting an arrow from his deathbed in the gatehouse - the arrow, somewhat implausibly, flew more than a mile. But still, that's where his grave is.

Students at the university said Prince Andrew should resign because of his "blasé" attitude to Jamal Khashoggi's death.

Khashoggi, a critic of Saudi rulers, was killed inside the country's consulate in Istanbul on 2 October.

But ahead of the latest round of his Pitch@Palace initiative, Prince Andrew told Radio 4's Today programme the initiative should not stop "encouraging and supporting, starting and growing businesses".

The Duke said the journalist's death was an "awful state of affairs".

However, he said young Saudis should not "take the blame for something that they had nothing to do with".

The Duke told business presenter, Dominic O'Connell: "Saudi Arabia was the first country to take Pitch outside the UK, and we went in 2015 and it was a great success."

Prince Andrew added "From a Pitch perspective and Pitch alone, I do not believe that we should stop for one moment encouraging and supporting starting and growing businesses."

Reacting to the Duke's interview with the BBC, Amnesty International said it hoped he was "re-appraising his entire relationship with Saudi Arabia."

Strict supervision orders were placed on the couple by City of York Council amid a safeguarding investigation.

It meant the couple, who were eventually cleared of any wrongdoing, were only able to spend time with their son when other people were present.

The council apologised and has paid the family £2,000 for the distress caused.

When the baby, who had a range of health conditions, was taken to hospital with breathing difficulties, a doctor noted injuries to his ribs.

The family said these could have been caused by invasive, physical and medical interventions during a previous hospital stay.

Several of Historic England's "at risk" sites have been saved - but many more remain in danger.
