About Bishop Monkton
Bishop Monkton is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England, about five miles south of Ripon.
The settlement is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as belonging to the then Archbishop of York. The name Monucheton predates the survey (listed in 1030) as the Town of the monks. It is thought that 13th century, the archbishop resided in a manor house in the village, which has since been destroyed.
