Close to this market town,
where houses are grouped together round a
church with a 15th century tower, is Cowton
Moor, site of the Battle of the Standard in
1138. At one time the town was the ‘capital’
of North Yorkshire and during the 18th and
19th centuries it became famous for the
manufacture of spurs. The Old Fleece Inn is
part-medieval. |
