Gilling Castle, Medieval castle in Gilling East, England
Gilling Castle features a fortified manor house with a square tower, incorporating Grade II listed elements such as a clock tower and stone gate piers.
Thomas de Etton constructed the castle in the 14th century, with the Fairfax family acquiring it in 1489 and conducting extensive renovations in 1571.
The Great Chamber contains intricate glasswork displaying arms of Yorkshire families and detailed English oak paneling with geometric patterns from the Elizabethan period.
The castle, previously housing St Martin's Ampleforth prep school until 2018, entered the market in 2022 through Ampleforth Abbey trustees.
William Randolph Hearst purchased the Great Chamber's interior components in 1930, but they returned to the castle in 1952 through donor contributions.
