Selected: Raby Castle

This splendid medieval castle, built in the mid 14th century on the site of an earlier fortified manor house by the powerful Nevill family, who owned it until the Rising of the North in 1569, has been the home of Lord Barnard's family since 1626. Magnificently situated in a 200 acre deer park, it was purchased by Lord Barnard's ancestor, Sir Henry Vane, the eminent statesman and politician.
