The Manor House is one of the oldest buildings in Ilkley and stands in the Roman Fort of Olicana, which was abandoned in the late 4th/5th century AD. Although the fort fell into ruins it occupied an important site that also became the focus of Medieval Ilkley and it is to this period of history that the earliest parts of the Manor House have been dated.
Although it has undergone many alterations since the 13th century when the Manor House was first built it remains an attractive and wonderful place to house interesting ancient artefacts, changing exhibitions presenting some of the best of northern artists work and is the hub of a range of cultural activities.
