It was a warm summer day, and we’d decided to visit Ripon in North
Yorkshire. Ripon is a cathedral city, the third smallest city in England
and the smallest in Yorkshire. We parked and walked to the cathedral, where
we went inside to look around. The current church is grade I listed
and was built between the 13th and 16th centuries, though it was first founded as a monastery way back in the 660s. You can also go
underground into the Saxon Crypt. As we were leaving, an orchestra was rehearsing for the evening, so we stayed and listened to them play for a while.
