Pickering
Pickering is an ancient market community and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, on the border of the North York Moors National Park. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, it sits at the foot of the moors, neglecting the Vale of Pickering to the south. According to legend the community was founded by King Peredurus around 270 BC; nevertheless, the community as it exists today is of medieval origin. The tale has it that the king lost his ring as well as implicated a young maiden of stealing it, but later on that day the ring was discovered in a pike caught in the River Costa for his supper. The king was so delighted to discover his ring he married the young maiden; the name Pike-ring transformed for many years to Pickering. It is a nice story told to fit the name, however it is not the origin. Pickering is thought to be named after the followers of an Anglian man named Picer or some such personal name-- the Picer-ingas. The traveler locations of Pickering Parish Church, with its medieval wall surface paints, Pickering Castle, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and also Beck Isle Museum have actually made Pickering preferred with site visitors. Neighboring locations consist of Malton, Norton-on-Derwent and Scarborough.
