Wakefield boasts a diverse history that stretches back to the prehistoric era, making it a fascinating city for history buffs. It played a robust role in the Industrial Revolution, thanks to its position as an inland port and a flourishing centre for wool, corn, and textiles. Its 1888 city status is attributed to the illustrious cathedral that graces the city's skyline.

In addition to its industrial past, Wakefield harbours a rich military history, being a Royalist stronghold during the Civil War, and a notable site during the Wars of the Roses. This enthralling narration of the past is aptly encapsulated in its stunning architectural treasures like the Dower House and Heath Hall.
