A COMMEMORATIVE blue plaque will be unveiled in Cudworth next month to honour Barnsley’s most famous son.
Sir Michael Parkinson’s death on August 16 resulted in national tributes being paid to the TV chat show king but in his home village locals - from Cudworth History Group and Chewin t’Cud magazine - came together to fast-track a blue plaque alongside Barnsley Civic Trust.
The Chronicle can reveal it will be installed at the Dorothy Hyman Stadium, on Snydale Road, at 11am on October 11.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
