Ripon is a cathedral city in the Borough of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Ripon is located at the confluence of two tributaries of the River Ure, the Laver and Skell.
Ripon is noted for its main feature, Ripon Cathedral which is architecturally significant, as well as the Ripon Racecourse and other features such as its market. The city itself is just over 1,300 years old. Ripon was originally known as Inhrypum and was founded by Saint Wilfrid during the time of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria, a period during which it enjoyed prominence in terms of religious importance in Great Britain.
Ripon was for a period under Viking control, and later suffered under the Normans. After a brief period of building projects under the Plantagenets, the city of Ripon emerged with a prominent wool and cloth industry. Ripon became well known for its production of spurs during the 16th and 17th centuries, but would later remain largely unaffected by the Industrial Revolution.
Ripon is located 11 miles (18 km) south-west of Thirsk, 16 miles (26 km) south of Northallerton and 12 miles (19 km) north of Harrogate. As well as its racecourse and cathedral, Ripon is a tourist destination because of its close proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage Site which consists of the Studley Royal Park and Fountains Abbey.
The tradition of the Ripon Hornblower has endured since the year 886 and continues on to this day. It originates with the wakeman of Ripon, whose job in the Middle Ages was similar of that to a mayor although he had more responsibilities in the keeping of law and order. Every day at 9:00pm the horn is blown at the four corners of the obelisk in Ripon Market. The horn has become the symbol of the city and represents Ripon on the Harrogate borough coat of arms. There are three museums in Ripon collectively known as the Yorkshire Law and Order Museums; it includes the Courthouse, the Prison and Police and the Workhouse Museums.
In terms of sport, the most noted field of participation is horse racing with the Ripon Racecourse. The sport has a long history in Ripon, with the first recorded meeting on Bondgate Green in 1664, while its current location has been used as a racetrack since 1900. Ripon staged Britain's first race for female riders in 1723.
The city was previously served by Ripon railway station on the Leeds-Northallerton Line that ran between Leeds and Northallerton. By road Ripon is well connected; it is accessible from the north and south via the A1(M) motorway which connects to Ripon by the B6265. The Ripon Canal was proposed by John Smeaton in 1766, to connect the city centre to part of the River Ure.

Hunters present #weloveripon, a collaborative video created alongside other small businesses that support the city of Ripon. Ripon is a small cathedral city in North Yorkshire, England. Located near Harrogate, the city is over 1,300 years old and is the third smallest city in England by population. Ripon is a well known tourist destination and is well positioned in North Yorkshire for exploring but for centuries, the city has been a popular residential area with plenty of work and schooling opportunities. In recent years the city has become a thriving independent hub for small local businesses
We worked with some fantastic and energetic local businesses to produce this video. Oliver’s Pantry is one of the most iconic cafes in the city offering a fantastic range of homemade produce served with a smile. Memorable Moments have been in the city for a few years now offering a lovely range of gifts and cards for those special moments. The Little Book shop is not little in knowledge and offer a whole host of different types of literature and if they haven’t got it, they will get it for you.
A beautiful iconic building set just off the town square, is the Workhouse museum, which offers a real life feel for the days gone by and reveals the real history of what it was like, for the not so fortunate back in the 1800s. With a classroom, a working kitchen demonstrating traditional methods of cooking which accompanies the well-tended rear kitchen garden, with traditional planting which would have been tended by the inmates at the time.
The Ripon Racecourse known as “Yorkshires Garden race course” because of its pleasant surroundings, is located just on the edge of Ripon and is well recognised as a very popular meet for local Yorkshire based owners and families.
Ripon is surrounded by beautiful open countryside and the Yorkshire dales are on your doorstep, this thriving city offers everything that both the young and old residents would enjoy.

Places to see in ( Yorkshire - UK ) Ripon Cathedral
The Cathedral Church of St Peter and St Wilfrid, commonly known as Ripon Cathedral, is a cathedral in the North Yorkshire city of Ripon. Founded as a monastery by Scottish monks in the 660s, it was refounded as a Benedictine monastery by St Wilfrid in 672. The church became collegiate in the tenth century, and acted as a mother church within the large Diocese of York for the remainder of the Middle Ages. In 1836 the church became the cathedral for the Diocese of Ripon. In 2014 the Diocese was incorporated into the new Diocese of Leeds, and the church became one of three co-equal cathedrals of the Bishop of Leeds.
Ripon Cathedral is notable architecturally for its gothic west front in the Early English style, considered one of the best of its type, as well as the Geometric east window. The seventh-century crypt of Wilfrid's church is a significant example of early Christian architecture in England. The cathedral has Grade I listed building status.
There has been a stone church on the site since 672 when Saint Wilfrid replaced the previous timber church of the monastery at Ripon (a daughter house of Saint Aidan's monastery at Melrose) with one in the Roman style. This is one of the earliest stone buildings erected in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria. The crypt dates from this period. People have been coming to worship and pray at Ripon for more than 1,350 years. The cathedral building is part of this continuing act of worship, begun in the 7th century when Saint Wilfrid built one of England's first stone churches on this site, and still renewed every day. Within the nave and choir, you can see the evidence of 800 years in which master craftsmen have expressed their faith in wood and stone.
Today's church is the fourth to have stood on this site. Saint Wilfrid brought stonemasons, plasterers and glaziers from France and Italy to build his great basilica in AD 672. A contemporary account by Eddius Stephanus tells us: In Ripon, Saint Wilfrid built and completed from the foundations to the roof a church of dressed stone, supported by various columns and side-aisles to a great height and many windows, arched vaults and a winding cloister.

England 2019 Episode 12: Ripon
Ripon is a quiet, attractive town with an impressive gothic cathedral. The cathedral is notable architecturally for its west front, constructed in 1220 in the Early English style. The rood screen with its polychrome statues is late-medieval work. The geometric east window dates to 1286. The choir stalls incorporate intricately carved 15th c. misericords, including one that shows a griffin catching a rabbit, which inspired Lewis Carroll in his writing of Alice in Wonderland (Carroll's father was part of the clergy team here in the 1860s). The wooden hand below the organ dates to 1695 and was actually used to conduct the choir. The cathedral's Saxon crypt is the only remnant of the original stone church built here in 672 AD by Saint Wilfred (see the 5th picture in the photo section at the end of the video).
The town's Workhouse Museum offers a glimpse of the Victorian era justice system. Those who fell on hard times were often assigned to one of these institutions where they received room and board in exchange for their labor. The nicely furnished Administrator's Building in the middle of the workhouse complex was flanked by the men's and women's dormitories on either side. Other parts of the complex included the workhouse kitchen, schoolroom, and vegetable garden.
After that sobering experience, I stopped at a pub for an ale and found the local Morris Dancing club rehearsing in the back room. What fun!
