More on Northallerton
Human habitation in the area surrounding Northallerton goes back to at least the Roman period. The Romans had some sort of military installation there. After the Romans pulled out, the area was administered by the Anglo-Saxons. Christianity arrived when 7th century Roman missionary established the first church there. That church is long gone, but its site is where the All Saints' Church is now standing.During Anglo-Saxon times, Northallerton was known as Alvertune. During the compilation of the Domesday Book in 1086, the Norman scribes listed it variously as Alvertune, Aluertune and Alretone. It probably evolved to its present form in the 12th century.
Being on a major roadway has its drawbacks. During the Norman Conquest in 1066, the town was almost wiped out, so severe was the determination of William the Conqueror in quelling any possible uprising. This too was described in the Domesday Book, that the town was "put down as waste".
Today Northallerton is a modern English town with a diverse economy comprising light industries, services and farming. It has a livestock auction market and a factory producing high-grade manure. Major UK supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons have a presence here.
