MenuHowden, Yorkshire
Howden is a small market town in Yorkshire, in the East Riding. William the Conqueror gave the town and a liberty around it to the Bishops of Durham in 1080, creating the wapentake of Howdenshire. Work began on Howden Minster in the 12th-century, though it was not completed until the 15th-century. In the 14th and 15th centuries, Howden became a centre for pilgrims because of John of Howden's alleged miracles. The town is within the council area of East Riding of Yorkshire.
