Fix this textAN ANCIENT STRONGHOLD OF THE NORTH IS YORKSHIRE’S KNARESBOROUGH
Fix this texttpHE ruins of Knaresborough Castle stand near the River Nidd, eighteen
Fix this textA miles west of York. The castle was founded in the eleventh century by
Fix this textSerlo de Burgh, one of the followers of William the Conqueror. Later it
Fix this textcame into the possession of Eustace Fitz John, the great favourite of
Fix this textHenry I.
Fix this textThe castle is reputed to have given refuge for a year to the four
Fix this textmurderers of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170. “These
Fix this textmiserable men retired to Knaresborough Castle in Yorkshire, owned by a
Fix this textbaron who was their friend, but finding themselves avoided by everyone,
Fix this textthat none would eat and drink with them under the same roof, they took
Fix this texta voyage to Rome, whence, by the Pope’s order, they went on a pilgrimage
Fix this textto Jerusalem, spent the rest of their lives in a penitential discipline, and
Fix this textwere buried near the door of the Templar’s Church there, with an inscription
Fix this textover the tomb, ‘Here lie the wretched men who murdered St. Thomas of
Fix this textCanterbury.’ ”
Fix this textIn fee reign of Edward II (1307-1327) Knaresborough Castle was
Fix this textbestowed on Piers Gaveston, Earl of Cornwall. On his death it reverted
Fix this textto the Crown, and was granted hy Edward 111 to his fourth son, John of
Fix this textGaunt, Duke of Lancaster.
Fix this textIt was in Knaresborough Castle that the unfortunate Richard II (1377-
Fix this text1399) .spent part of his bitter imprisonment, and from the castle keep waved
Fix this textthe banner of the Loyalists after the battle of Marston Moor. The garrison
Fix this textsurrendered, however, after a lengthy siege by republican arms. The castle
Fix this textwas dismantled in 1648. Today these historical ruins overlook a famous
Fix this textbowling green; and many of the town’s houses are constructed from the old
Fix this textcastle’s original fabric.
Fix this textTwo miles from Knaresborough is Percy House at Scottpn, the boyhood
Fix this texthome of the notorious Guy Fawkes, while Knaresborough itself is the reputed
Fix this textbirthplace of Ursula Southiell, better known as Mother Shipton, the soothsayer,
Fix this textand of John Mitcalf, the blind road-making pioneer and bridge-builder.
