About Danby Castle

Danby Castle is a historic site. Location: Danby, Scarborough District.

From Wikipedia

Danby Castle is a historic building in Danby, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The castle was first recorded in 1242, but it was in ruins by 1336, according to local tradition due to a fire and the reuse of its stone in constructing St Hilda's Church, Danby. The current building dates from the late 14th century, with some alterations to the south wing having been made in the mid and late 16th century. During this period, it may have been the home of Catherine Parr.
