Mulgrave Castle is a large country house, home to the Marquis of Normanby. The core of the building was built before 1753 and two wings were added in the 1780s. It was completed between 1805 and 1816 with the addition of towers, turrets and further battlements and a projecting entrance hall. The gardens are occasionally opened for charity. Thanks to Beryl Morris for this postcard which dates from about 1905. Information from ’Inside the North York Moors’ by Harry Mead. The old castle was constructed early in the 13th century, was besieged in the Civil War and dismantled by order of Pariament in the 1600s. It can be reached through the woods, via a footpath from Sandsend which is open at weekends and on Wednesdays, except in May. Image courtesy of Beryl Morris. Postcard – T.Watson, Lythe. |
