Sheriff Hutton Castle, Sheriff Hutton, North Yorkshire
Sheriff Hutton Castle was a massive fortified house begun in 1382 for John, Lord Neville. The castle was seized by the Crown in 1471 after the fall of the Earl of Warwick. In 1525 the castle became the residence of the Warden-General of the Marches. In 1537 the President of the Council of the North made it his residence. In 1572 it was again the residence of the President and was repaired. In 1624 a survey showed it to be 'stately in appearance only'. The buildings and the walls were 'no longer defendable'.
