Pickering
Pickering is an old market town as well as civil parish in the Ryedale area of North Yorkshire, England, on the boundary of the North York Moors National Forest. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, it sits 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; nevertheless, the community as it exists today is of middle ages beginning. The tale has it that the king lost his ring as well as accused a young maiden of taking it, however later that day the ring was found in a pike captured in the River Costa for his dinner. The king was so pleased to find his ring he wed the young maiden; the name Pike-ring transformed for many years to Pickering. It is a good story informed 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 vacationer venues of Pickering Parish Church, with its middle ages wall surface paintings, Pickering Castle, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and also Beck Isle Museum have actually made Pickering preferred with visitors. Nearby places include Malton, Norton-on-Derwent and Scarborough.
