This
formidable Yorkshire manor-house was begun in 1379 by
Lord Richard le Scrope, Chancellor to Richard II. It's
powerful construction by master-mason John Lewyn with
portcullis at every entrance from the courtyard and two
in the gatehouse, and substantial rectangular towers at
each corner, withstood a seige by Parliamentarians for
over a year in 1644-5 before surrendering. Mary, Queen of
Scots, was imprisoned here in 1568-9. |
