A cathedral city in the Borough of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, Ripon sits within the joining of two streams of the River Ure, the Laver, and Skell. Ripon is historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire and is famous for its architectural landmarks such as the Ripon Cathedral, founded as a monastery by Irish monks during the 660s. The church that remains today was built between the 13th and 16th centuries.
Originally known as ‘Inhrypum’, Ripon started out life as a land of monks and a monastery built by Eata of Hexham. When Eata was eventually driven out of the town by Alhfrith, ownership of the abbey was transferred to Saint Wilfrid, who replaced the timber church with a stone church. After operating under Viking control for a period, Ripon was controlled by the Normans, and later the Plantagenets, during which time the city prospered in the wool and cloth industries.
As England’s third-smallest city and the smallest in the whole of Yorkshire, by population, Ripon has only just over 17,000 residents. It is, however, an extremely popular tourist destination due to its well-renowned historical landmarks and attractions, including the Ripon Racecourse or the ‘Garden Racecourse’, a thoroughbred horse racing venue. Racing in Ripon can be traced as far back as 1664, when the city hosted its first races on Bondgate Green.
Ripon is also home to their weekly Thursday market which attracts visitors from all over, offering goods such as fresh produce, baked goods, locally reared meat, garments, accessories, local flowers, and plants. The city also sits in close proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the Studley Royal Park which includes the ruins of Fountains Abbey. The site spans an 18th-century landscaped garden, a Victorian church designed by William Burges, several of the largest Cistercian abbey ruins in Europe, and ruins of a Jacobean mansion.
Ripon sits among the top ten safest small towns in the whole of North Yorkshire, with an overall crime rate of just 59 crimes per 1000 people during 2022. This compares favourably to North Yorkshire’s overall crime rate of 85 crimes per 1000 people during the same year, coming in at 30% lower.
The most common crimes committed in Ripon are violent and sexual offences, with 456 crimes of this kind committed in 2022 to give a crime rate of 28. This is 11% higher than the figure from the previous year of 411 crimes. The least common crime committed in Ripon is possession of weapons, with just four offences of this kind recorded during 2022, a decrease of 33% from the previous year’s figure of six crimes.

We are an SIA (Security Industry Authority) licensed contractor, meaning we are legally permitted to work within security-related matters throughout the UK. The SIA is a statutory organisation, and before their introduction during 2004, a national licensing system such as this didn’t exist in the UK’s security sector. Local councils were having to licence workers themselves, often skipping out crucial background and experience checks in the process.
Today, the SIA has given countless security professionals the chance to raise the standards of the industry to the level it always deserved to be, providing proper safety and protection for those in need.
When you work with Taybar, you can rest assured that all of Taybar Security’s services are audited and assessed by the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) against best practices and industry benchmarks for excellence. We are also registered with the NSI directly and are certified under their Guarding Gold scheme, the organisation’s highest certification tier that combines ISO9001 accreditation and Product Certification of our related security services.
Each of our security officers and guards go through a rigorous background and experience check when they join our team. All of our members are fully vetted, hold an SIA (Security Industry Authority) licence, and have a minimum of five years’ working history with Keyholding and Alarm Response services. We also constantly support our officers with learning and development initiatives throughout their time with us, making sure we remain knowledgeable and competent in an ever-evolving industry.
At Taybar, we also always employ locally, meaning you’ll always be working with security guards and officers who are local to Ripon. This ensures we can always provide rapid responses, offer local knowledge, and boost local employment.
