Notable facts about Skipton
- Skipton Castle was built around 1090 by Robert de Romille, who came over from Normandy with William I in 1066.
- During the English Civil War, a Royalist garrison was situated at Skipton Castle. It was the last remaining Royalist stronghold in North England until its honourable surrender on 20 December 1645 after a three-year siege.
- Skipton prides itself on being 'The Gateway to the Dales'. Its name comes from the Saxon word for sheep - 'sheep town'.
- With a long established livestock market, Skipton became an important wool trading centre as roads developed. The arrival of the Leeds-Liverpool canal in 1770 brought industrial growth to Skipton, with cloth making becoming a major activity.
