 | | Tadcaster has, indeed, had a large share of royal visits, for as we have seen, monarchs and princes were here before the Conquest, and for many centuries afterwards it continued to be a royal highway to and from York. |
 | | In 1873 the manor of Tadcaster, with its royalties, fines, quit-rents, and privileges, together with the advowson of the church of Tadcaster, was purchased by Colonel Fairfax, of Bilbrough, for £23,000. |
 | | The rectory of Tadcaster was next farmed by the family of Hungate, of Saxton, and in the reign of James I., Francis Wood, of Tadcaster, gent., was lessee of the rectory. |
