Northallerton is the County Town of North Yorkshire and has a long, rich history appropriate to its status.
The official town historian, Michael Riordan, brings to this new history of Northallerton (the first since 1885) his extensive and detailed knowledge of the town. He traces the development of Northallerton from its prehistoric and Roman beginnings to the present day. This is more than a local history of a charming North Yorkshire town. Northallerton owes its importance on the national scene to its strategic importance, straddling the main route from England to Scotland. Figures of national importance passed through or stayed in the town.
Each colourful era reflects national and local history by exploring the intriguing town through the ages - from its importance as a vital, thriving Saxon borough, to its compelling modern life and development as the typical town of atmospheric North Yorkshire.
This scholarly, yet readable account by the acknowledged authority on Northallerton's history is fully illustrated and has a bibliography and index to allow for further study of the town's history.
