Market-day, Thursday. Ripon is supposed to be of
British or Roman origin. In 678 its monastery (built
661) became the seat of a bishopric, subsequently
united with York. The new diocese of Ripon, created
in 1836, comprises most of the AVest-Riding and part of
the North-Riding. The cathedral, a remarkably fine
edifice, was originally the church of the monastery.
There is a handsome bridge over the Ure, which is
here navigable. The spacious market-place is orna-
mented by an obelisk 90 feet high. Ripon was
formerly celebrated for its spurs, but its principal
manufactures now are saddle-trees, iron, machinery,
leather, and varnish. It gives the title of marquis to
the family of Robinson. It returned 2 members to
Parliament from the time of Edward VI. until 1867,
and 1 member from 1867 until 1885.
