In mid Victorian days, interest in health and in travel coincided with the building of Harrogate around its new Spa and new railway station. Fine houses and streets began to spring up, and it was clear that another church should be built to meet the needs of a rising population. Mrs Mary Anne Fielde donated her house to be the Vicarage, and her garden for a church and a school to be built.
Appealingly simple.
Ripon Cathedral has a history stretching back almost fourteen centuries. Throughout this time it has offered an unbroken tradition of witness to the Christian faith, both in the city of Ripon and across North Yorkshire.
