About Ripon - show infohide info
Ripon is a small cathedral city in North Yorkshire, England, 214 miles NNW from London. The city has a population of 16,468 (2001 census), making it the third smallest city in England after Wells and the City of London. It is pleasantly situated at the confluence of the streams Laver and Skell with the River Ure, which is crossed by a fine bridge of nine arches. The streets are for the most part narrow and irregular, and, although most of the houses are comparatively modern, some of them retain the picturesque gables characteristic of earlier times. Ripon is part of the Skipton and Ripon parliamentary constituency. The cathedral, which the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica described as "not ranking among those of the first class," is nevertheless celebrated for its fine proportions, and is of great interest from the various styles of architecture which it includes. Its entire length from east to west is 266 feet, the length of the transepts 130 feet, and the width of the nave and aisles 87 feet. Besides a large square central tower, there are two western towers. The Minster was founded on the ruins of St Wilfrid's abbey about 680, but of this Saxon building nothing now remains except the crypt, called St Wilfrid's Needle. Towns close to Ripon include Harrogate, Knaresborough, York, Northallerton, Thirsk, Skipton, Hawes and Settle.
