An article discussing the licences granted to crenellate in Yorkshire was included in Medieval Yorkshire in 2017. Bolton Percy is listed in the gazeteer with the date of the licence as 22nd February 1293. (Davis, P) (5) Further information can be found on the website for the Gatehouse Gazeteer. It is uncertain if there was a fortified manor house on this site but may have been associated with the Benedictine nunnery at Nun Appleton Hall (Davis, P) (6)
