Pickering
Pickering is an ancient market community and also civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, on the boundary of the North York Moors National Park. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, it rests at the foot of the moors, ignoring the Vale of Pickering to the south. According to tale the community was founded by King Peredurus around 270 BC; however, the town as it exists today is of medieval origin. The legend has it that the king shed his ring and charged a young maiden of stealing it, yet later on that day the ring was discovered in a pike captured in the River Costa for his supper. The king was so satisfied to find his ring he married the young maiden; the name Pike-ring altered over the years to Pickering. It is a good tale told to fit the name, but it is not the origin. Pickering is believed to be called after the fans of an Anglian man named Picer or some such personal name-- the Picer-ingas. The visitor venues of Pickering Parish Church, with its middle ages wall paints, Pickering Castle, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway as well as Beck Isle Museum have actually made Pickering preferred with visitors. Close-by locations include Malton, Norton-on-Derwent and Scarborough.
