Skipton was granted to the de Romille family in 1066, their building of a fortress castle led to a regular market being established for local produce and trade, which continues to the present day with a colourful market 4 days a week. From the castle and nearby Holy Trinity Church the town grew around the market place. The arrival of the Leeds-Liverpool canal in 1770 brought industrial growth to Skipton, with cloth making becoming a major activity. The railway brought increased growth to the town.
