Askrigg across Wensleydale, hazy evening
Probably the market town in Wensleydale to which Fox came. Askrigg was granted market and fair charters in 1587, and was the chief market town in the dale, until Hawes petitioned for a charter in 1700 and destroyed its trade and prestige. When Fox came through, Hawes was relatively unimportant.
