Pickering
Pickering is an ancient market community as well as civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, on the border 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 legend the town was founded by King Peredurus around 270 BC; nevertheless, 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 found in a pike captured in the River Costa for his dinner. The king was so satisfied to locate his ring he wed the young maiden; the name Pike-ring changed over the years to Pickering. It is a good tale informed to fit the name, but it is not the beginning. Pickering is thought to be named after the fans 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 Beck Isle Museum have made Pickering prominent with site visitors. Nearby places consist of Malton, Norton-on-Derwent and Scarborough.
