A Few Words About Yorkshire

It is the largest county in the UK and is based in the north east of England; the population is around 5.3 million with 4 councils.

Yorkshire has become widely known as ‘God’s Own County’, especially by those who live there, and has the white rose as its emblem.  This has origins as the emblem of the House of York, dating from before the time of  the 15th century War of the Roses between the Houses of Lancaster and York.  

The capital city is York, and other main cities include Hull, Leeds, Bradford and Sheffield. Yorkshire has seen much change due to Man’s involvement and impact on the county.  

The first recorded to play their part were the Celts who lived as two separate tribes, the Brigantes and the Parisii, around 45 AD.  

The next to arrive were the Romans, who brought roads and communication to the North of England. When the Romans left around 350 AD, the Anglo Saxons took over.

The Vikings came around 866 AD and established Yorvik or York as the capital. Indeed, for a while it was the capital of England.

When the Normans arrived in 1066 they also added their mark, chiefly in the form of the Norman castle, to the landscape of Yorkshire.

The Normans never really left, as Britain has not been invaded since 1066, and as the Normans bred with the locals, it developed into the county it is today. 

A county of the Sunday Roast, centred on the celebrated Yorkshire Pudding, Yorkshire tea, cricket, textiles, and a friendliness that is seldom rivalled in other areas of Great Britain.
