Ripon Hornblower

The Ripon Hornblower, with his fantastic curved horn and distinctive tricorn hat. This tradition originates with the wakeman of Ripon, whose job in the Middle Ages was similar of that to a mayor although he had more responsibilities in the keeping of law and order. Every day at 9:00pm the horn is blown at the four corners of the obelisk in Ripon Market. The horn has become the symbol of the city and represents Ripon on the Harrogate borough coat of arms. Date: 1910s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic figure of the Ripon Hornblower, a time-honored tradition that has shaped the identity of this historic Yorkshire city for centuries. Dating back to the Middle Ages, the wakeman of Ripon held responsibilities akin to those of a mayor, but with an added emphasis on law and order. Each evening at 9:00pm, the Hornblower would assemble at the obelisk in Ripon Market and blow his distinctive curved horn, a blast that echoed through the streets and served as a reminder of the city's rich history and traditions. The Hornblower's uniform, complete with a tricorn hat, adds to the symbolic allure of this time-honored role. The curved horn, with its distinctive shape and unique sound, has become a cherished symbol of Ripon and is proudly displayed on the city's coat of arms. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a testament to the enduring power of tradition. The daily blast of the Ripon Hornblower continues to resonate through the city, reminding residents and visitors alike of the unique history and heritage that defines Ripon.
