Ripon is a small city located in the Borough of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. The first building to have been built in the area is a Christian church named the Inhrypum, which archaeologists believe to have been constructed in the year 658. Furthermore, the current city cathedral dates to 1080 AD, featuring beautifully carved statues of monarchs, saints, and painted glass windows. It was granted its charter in the year 886, almost two hundred years before the second oldest city in the country was recognised.
