The discovery of stone sculptures along with local place names with Norse derivations such as Thorpe, Cracoe, and Skyreholme tell us that the Vikings settled in and around the Wharfe Valley over a thousand years ago. Today, many of these stones have been collected and form part of an exhibition on the local Viking history at the back of St Wilfrid's church.
