They surrended on December 21 1645 and Cromwell ordered the removal of the roofs which werw replaced 10 years later by lady Anne Clifford.

In Cromwell's time Skipton was already ancient - a little market town huddled beneath the castle walls.

Come and explore this historic castle and visit the parish church where successive Lords of Skipton lie buried among them George Clifford, one of Queen Elizabeth's Admirals against the Armarda.

A worth while visit at any time of the year.
