Aldborough, a charming village just to the south-east of Boroughbridge, was once the important Roman garrison town of Isurium Brigantium a major settlement for the Brigantes, the largest tribe in Roman Britain. Pottery, ornaments, coins, etc, are on display in the museum.

St Andrew`s Church was partially destroyed by Scots raiders in 1318. The present building is the third church to occupy what is thought to be the site of a Roman Temple of Mercury. The north wall dates from around 1330, and carries a brass of William de Aldeburgh dating from around 1360.

A plaque near the village green commemorates the RAF crew who lost their lives but avoided crashing into the village. The stocks in front of this plaque were removed from the square in Boroughbridge, when the medieval church in the square was demolished in 1851. The following year, the battle cross commemorating the Battle of Boroughbridge was also moved to Aldborough. Near this cross is the village hall, which was formerly the National School.

Minskip has quite an interesting history. Roman remains have been found here. In the 11th century a gibbet was one method used to keep locals in order. The rampaging Scots ransacked the village after their victory at Bannockburn in 1314. Blind Jack Metcalfe of Knaresbrough built his first ‘Turnpike’ road from this village to Knaresbrough in 1765. The Harrogate – Newcastle stagecoaches went through Minskip.

A small chapel was built for Wesleyans in 1857 (subsequently a Catholic Chapel and now a private house). An Infants School, built in 1858 became the Village church in 1907. A commentator in 1909 noted, ‘Minskip, a plain red-bricked village, contains several evidences of antiquity’. In the 1960’s the Cundall farm bred thousands of pheasants. In the mid 1960’s pheasants, mushrooms and prize goats were Minskip specialities.

The Village Hall, managed by an annually elected committee is currently undergoing refurbishment.
