Although it is now governed by Harrogate Borough Council, Ripon also became a successor parish with a parish council of its own called Ripon City Council.

While working with Vanguard, he served as president and chief executive officer of the United Service Organizations and the Private Sector Council, as deputy director and chief operating officer of the 1990 G7 Summit, and on the board of directors or advisory committee of the American Red Cross, the Eisenhower World Affairs Institute, Bread for the World, and the Ripon Society.

He was created Duke of Dover, Marquess of Beverley and Earl of Ripon in 1708, and appointed to the British Privy Council in the same year.

He had grown rather disenchanted with the power stratification within the institution ( the name of which is unknown ), and had had enough of the " jealousies and very bitter persecutions of certain men of rank ", and had been looking to return to his own monastery ( assumed to be Ripon ).

He was quickly made guest-master at the new monastery at Ripon, soon after 655, but had to return with Eata to Melrose when Wilfrid was given the monastery instead.

Eahlfrith had been brought up with Irish-Northumbrian usages, and his rejection of these, along with the expulsion of the future saints Cuthbert of Lindisfarne and Eata of Hexham from Ripon, is considered to have had a strong political component.

In the early 660s, he expelled Ionan monks from the monastery of Ripon and gave it to Wilfrid, a Northumbrian churchman who had recently returned from Rome.

Before Wilfrid's return Oswiu had appointed Ceadda in his place, resulting in Wilfrid's retirement to Ripon for a few years following his arrival back in Northumbria.

Shortly before 664 Alhfrith gave Wilfrid a monastery he had recently founded at Ripon, formed around a group of monks from Melrose Abbey, followers of the Irish monastic customs.

The monk Ceolfrith was attracted to Ripon from Gilling Abbey, which had recently been depopulated as a result of the plague.

He wrote for the monks in Ripon, many of whom had known Wilfrid.

The Romans did not settle Ripon either, but they had a military outpost around five miles ( 8 km ) away at North Stainley.

The earliest settlers were stonemasons, glaziers and plasterers that Wilfrid had brought over to help construct the Ripon monastery, from Lyon in Francia and Rome which was then under Byzantine rule.

One of his successors was less favourable ; after the Northumbrians rebelled against English rule in 948, king Edred had the buildings at Ripon burned.

Ripon had a wakeman to make sure the residents were safely home by curfew and law and order was maintained, yet it was forced to pay 1, 000 marks to the Scots to prevent them from burning down the town on one occasion.

By the time of the English Restoration, several strains of non-conformist Christian practises had appeared, although they were not common in Ripon, the majority of people being Anglicans with a Catholic minority.

The first six presidents of Ripon College had clerical backgrounds, as does the current president.

The headquarters of the WLI had been officially located within the Leadership Studies Program at Ripon College.

In the case of York the collegiate churches of Beverley, Ripon and Southwell were almost in the same position, but although the archbishop had a stall in each he had no diocesan cathedra in them, and the chapters were not united with that of the metropolitan church in the direct government of the diocese, or the election of the archbishop, nor had they those other rights which were held to denote the cathedral character of a church.

In May, the Marquess of Ripon, who had been given the post of Governor-General of India, asked Gordon to go with him as private secretary.

Burger had first caught Nixon's eye through a letter of support the former sent to Nixon during the 1952 Fund crisis, and then again 15 years later when the magazine U. S. News and World Report had reprinted a 1967 speech that Burger had given at Ripon College.

The town of Harrogate on its own had a population of 71, 594 at the 2001 UK census ; the urban area comprising Harrogate and nearby Knaresborough had a population of 85, 128, while the figure for the much wider Borough of Harrogate, comprising Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon and a large rural area, was 151, 339.

He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, subsequently becoming a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and served as Member of Parliament for Ripon from 1910 to 1925 when he was elevated to the peerage.

The last three Saxon archbishops of York helped Beverley to develop, via the rise in prominence of Beverley Minster and the town in general ; along with York itself, Ripon and Southwell, Beverley became one of the most important Christian centres of Northern England.

Ripon is a cathedral city, market town and successor parish in the Borough of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, located at the confluence of two streams of the River Ure in the form of the Laver and Skell.

During the Middle Ages, Ripon was governed by a wakeman and aldermen ; known as the twelve keepers they oversaw the general running of the town and the maintenance of law and order.

The Reform Act of 1885 abolished the borough of Ripon, but the county constituency in which the town was placed as a result was named Ripon, and this continued as a single member constituency, albeit with some boundary changes, until it was abolished before the 1983 general election.
