Full description
Only a short tower block survives of the original house dating from 1548-55. The OS records that the rest of the house was rebuilt c.1780 but that the gatehouse is 15th century (2).
See Pevsner (5) and Jennings (6) for detailed descriptions.
A manorial building was on the site prior to the building of Sir William's Tower abutting it, the tower was started in 1548. The manor was eventually demolished in 1784 to allow rebuilding of the castle (3).
A mid 16th century tower built for Sir William Ingilby, and ranges of 1783-86 for Sir John Ingilby, by William Belwood. Coursed squared gritstone and ashlar with grey slate and stone slate roofs. The 16th century tower has three storeys and stands at the south-west corner as a projecting wing - listed building description.
Much discussion of history and origins of the castle and family (7).
