The city's strategic location has played a significant role in its history, with various cultures and rulers leaving their mark on the area. The establishment of St Wilfrid's monastery in the seventh century had far-reaching consequences, including the grant of land and control over thousands of acres.

By examining these influences, this book provides a unique insight into the city's development and helps to draw out its many secrets for readers interested in history and local studies.
