Howley Hall; a 16th century country house and gardens, 16th century country house in Morley, England
The ruins of Howley Hall stand on a sandstone escarpment, featuring remnants of four towers that once surrounded a central courtyard.
Sir John Savile constructed Howley Hall between 1585 and 1590, and the property remained in his family's possession until 1671.
The architectural design of Howley Hall reflected the Protestant elite's influence during the English Reformation through its symmetrical layout and tower placement.
The site, designated as a scheduled monument in 1997, includes the hall ruins, underground remains, and earthwork remnants of historical gardens.
In 1730, the Earl of Cardigan ordered the demolition of Howley Hall using gunpowder, converting nearly 1000 acres of parkland into agricultural fields.
