More about this scene
Stonemasons and glaziers from France and Italy built St Wilfrid's first stone church on this site in 672. Reconstruction began in 1069, although the building we see today dates from 1180. The west front was added in 1220. The minster finally became a cathedral in 1836. Hidden in the crypt are the remains of the original St Wilfrid's church.

Our family talked about an ancestor who owned Lickley Street and who drank himself to death along with his butler. Does anyone have any knowledge of this?
Does anyone remember Ethel Marsden nee Storey and Herbert Storey who lived at 2 and 3 Whitehouses, Barefoot Street, Ripon before their homes were demolished to make way for the flats in the 1960s.
As a girl, Ethel Storey lived in Todds Court, Ripon, with her four siblings and parents, James and Louisa Storey, next door to the Bendelows and the Flowers. Ethel was my grandmother and I would love to know more. Does any one know anything about her husband Arthur Marsden and where he is buried?
