South Cowton Castle, Medieval castle in South Cowton, England
South Cowton Castle features a rectangular layout with two towers at the southwestern and northeastern corners, rising across three main stories.
Sir Richard Conyers constructed this fortified residence in 1470 during the Wars of the Roses, making it the oldest structure in the Cowtons.
The castle stands near St Mary's Church, overlooking field markings that indicate the location of an abandoned medieval village of South Cowton.
The castle functions as a private farmhouse and sits just off the B1263 road near Atley Hill in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire.
Following a roof collapse in 1979, the Grade I listed building underwent extensive repairs between 1980 and 1982 to preserve its medieval structure.
