Risby, Deserted medieval village in East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
The site of Risby contains visible earthworks and foundations that mark the location of former medieval homes and agricultural structures.
Risby Hall, constructed in the 1680s, experienced two devastating fires in the late 1700s, leading to its complete demolition and abandonment.
The decorative folly structure, built in 1770 near a lake, represents the architectural preferences of 18th-century English landscape design.
Visitors can observe the medieval village remains and the folly from the roadside or at the Risby Folly Cafe located opposite the lake.
Before Risby Hall's construction, King Henry VIII visited a previous building at this location, marking its connection to English royal history.
