SELBY PARISH #72: TADCASTER

Tadcaster is a market town located in the far Northwestern corner of the Selby district, lying some 3 miles East of the Great North Road and 10 miles Southwest of York.

It’s a town which has had historical importance from Roman times onward, thanks to it being a major crossing point of the River Wharfe until 1978 when the Tadcaster bypass was built

Tadcaster’s Roman name is Calcaria, deriving from the Latin word for “lime”. It was named as such thanks to the underlying limestone in the area we learned about in Stutton with Hazelwood

The modern name is partially derived from the Latin word “castra” meaning “fort”. Tadcaster likely means “Tata's fort”, named after an unknown Anglo-Saxon landowner.

Industrially, quarrying has always been important around here, but Tadcaster is known mainly for brewing these days. There are three breweries in the town, one of which is the oldest in Yorkshire

The brewery in question is also the only remaining independent brewery in the town. A fourth brewery used to stand close to the banks of the River Wharfe

Speaking of the Wharfe, thanks to its position on the banks of the river, parts of the town adjacent to Tadcaster bridge are prone to flooding, although flood risk management schemes are ongoing

And it’s twinned with St Chely d’Apcher in France, so let's see if there's any French flair here!
