Ripley is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire in England, a few miles north of Harrogate on the A61 road towards Ripon.
It has a castle dating from the 15th century, Ripley Castle, which has been the home of the Ingilby family for 700 years[1]. The present owner is Sir Thomas Ingilby, 6th Baronet (see Ingilby Baronets), the 28th generation. The castle which has a priest hole, is open for public tours. The landscaped castle grounds which contain ornamental lakes are also open to the public.
It is notable because a nineteenth century Ingilby tore down the old village and remodelled it after an Alsatian village with an 'Hotel de Ville'. The castle and the parish church were not remodelled.
