Towton Hall, 17th-century mansion in North Yorkshire, England
Towton Hall is a 17th-century house in North Yorkshire that blends Tudor and Georgian architectural features. The building displays brick construction with prominent chimneys and period windows typical of its era.
The property stands on the site where Richard III commissioned a memorial chapel following the Battle of Towton in 1461. This chapel was built to commemorate soldiers killed in one of England's largest medieval battles.
Archaeological excavations at Towton Hall revealed multiple soldier skeletons beneath the dining room floor, connecting the site to medieval warfare studies.
