Gateway to Skipton Castle
It's a long story, going back over 900 years, so best to look at their own website at; http://www.skiptoncastle.co.uk/ We walked past and will have to go back as we hadn't time to go inside.

Skipton Castle was first built in 1090 as a motte and bailey castle. Soon rebuilt in stone, the castle was strengthened in the early 14th century to withstand attacks from the Scots. After holding out for three years as the last Royalist stronghold in the north of England in the Civil War, the castle was slighted but skilfully repaired. Regarded today as one of the best preserved medieval castles in England. Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1316962
Skipton is a market town in North Yorkshire, some 27 miles northwest of Leeds. On the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, it is now an important tourist destination. The town expanded after the construction of Skipton Castle in the 11th century. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through the town and the River Aire flows just to the southwest. The name Skipton means 'sheep-town'.
