Sheriff Hutton Castle, Medieval quadrangular castle in Sheriff Hutton, England
The four stone towers mark the corners of this rectangular fortification, with walls standing forty feet high against the Yorkshire countryside.
John Lewyn designed and constructed the castle in 1382 under commission from John Neville, incorporating advanced defensive features of the period.
The castle served as a center for noble education when Richard of Gloucester established a royal household for young aristocrats in 1484.
The ruins remain on private property, requiring visitors to obtain permission before exploring the medieval stone structures and defensive walls.
The castle maintains its original rectangular layout with towers at each corner, exemplifying the architectural evolution of northern English fortifications.
