Skelton Castle
Skelton Castle can refer to either a ruined medieval castle or an 18th-century Gothic style country house that replaced it. The site of both buildings is the village of Skelton, in North Yorkshire, England. The house is Grade I listed.
==Castle==
The castle was built of stone by Robert de Brus in 1140. It had two look-out towers, dungeons and a moat with a drawbridge and portcullis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】BBC-Domesday Reloaded-Skelton Castle )〕
In 1265 it was surrendered to King Henry III. In 1272 it went to Walter de Fauconberg and remained in the family for the next 200 years. In 1490 it was inherited by William Conyers, when it was described as ruinous. From him it passed into the Trotter family and then by marriage to the Hall family by the marriage of Joseph Hall to Catherine Trotter. Their son John inherited and changed his name to Hall-Stevenson after marrying Ann Stevenson. He formed the "demoniacks" club who met at the ruins of the castle for drinking bouts.
His son, Joseph Hall-Stevenson, died within a year of his father and thus Joseph's son John Hall-Stevenson (1766–1843) inherited the castle. In 1788 he changed his name to John Wharton and was Member of Parliament for Beverley between 1790 and 1820.〔Sidney Lee, ''Stevenson, John Hall-'' in ''Dictionary of National Biography'' (1885-1900), vol. 54〕 He also demolished the castle and replaced it by the current country house between 1770 and 1817.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Skelton Castle )〕
