Description

 
Ilkley Manor House

Ilkley is a market town in Wharfedale, West Yorkshire, England. It has a long history. This Manor House originated in the 14th century CE but it stands on the remains of a Roman fort called Olicana. In more modern times Ilkley became a spa resort, popular with Victorians.

The Manor House is now a museum. A short section of Roman defensive wall remains exposed at the back of the building, and Roman artefacts from the fort and surrounding area are on permanent display inside, together with prehistoric artefacts and information about the development of Victorian Ilkley.
