Ripon
Cathedral City and Market Town
Published in association with:
Ripon Together
Ripon has been an important centre in Yorkshire since the early Middle Ages. The crypt of St Wifrid's seventh-century church still survives beneath the remarkable Gothic Minster, which became a cathedral in 1836. The city's imposing market place became a focus for local trading. By the 19th century, Ripon was more industrial, with many mills and a flourishing varnish industry. It housed major military camps during the first World War.

Ripon Together
Ripon Together collaborates with and helps coordinate community efforts in the city, complementing the work of individual organisations. Their approach is to bring people together to share information and plans, identify gaps and get people involved as volunteers. Members are encouraged to feed in ideas and to help plan and deliver them. They focus on projects and activities which will enhance what is already happening, encourage people to get involved and ensure successful partnership working in the city.
