Ilkley is a spa town and civil parish in the City of Bradford in West Yorkshire, in Northern England. Historically allowance of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Ilkley civil parish includes the next-door village of Ben Rhydding and is a ward within the City of Bradford. Approximately 12 miles (19Â km) north of Bradford and 17 miles (27Â km) north-west of Leeds, the town lies mainly on the south bank of the River Wharfe in Wharfedale, one of the Yorkshire Dales.
Ilkley’s spa town lineage and surrounding countryside make tourism an important local industry. The town middle is characterised by Victorian architecture, wide streets and floral displays. Ilkley Moor, to the south of the town, is the subject of a folk song, often described as the unofficial anthem of Yorkshire, “On Ilkla Moor Baht ‘at”. The song’s words are written in Yorkshire dialect, its title translated as “On Ilkley Moor without a hat.”
History
The dated evidence of habitation in the Ilkley area is from flint arrowheads or microliths, dating to the Mesolithic period, from approximately 11,000 BC onwards. The Place around Ilkley has been continually settled previously at least the Neolithic, around 3000 BC; more than 250 cup and ring marks, and a curved swastika carving possibly dating to the mature have been found upon rock outcrops, and archaeological remains of dwellings are found on Ilkley Moor. A small rock circle (possibly a burial monument), known as the ‘Twelve Apostles’, was constructed 4,500 years ago, during the Early Bronze Age. Serious engagement in the stone art of Ilkley began after the publication of the “Prehistoric Rock Sculptures of Ilkley” in 1879 by Romilly Allen in the Journal of the British Archaeological Association.
The remains of a Roman fort occupy a site close the town centre. Some authorities put stirring with it is Olicana, dating to 79Â AD, but the identification is not settled. A number of Roman altars have been discovered from the reigns of Antoninus Pius (138 to 161), and Septimius Severus and his son Caracalla (211 to 217). Ilkley Manor House stands upon part of the site in Castle Yard and is house to various Roman artefacts, including an original altar dedicated to Verbeia, the goddess of the River Wharfe.
Three Anglo-Saxon crosses from the 8th century that stood in the churchyard of All Saints’ Church have been moved inside to prevent erosion. The church site, as a middle for Christian worship, extends to 627 AD, and the present mainly Victorian-era church incorporates medieval elements.
