Come and learn about the fascinating story of Hornby Castle
once a huge estate with a rich and fascinating history
In aid of Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Amazing Grace School in South Sudan
and the charitable work of St Mary’s Church Hornby
You will be taken on a journey from Saxon times, through the medieval period to the 17th Century and on to the estate in its heyday until its sale in 1930, illustrated with stories, professional living history re-enactments and demonstrations and input from experts.
- See displays showing the extent of the estate, it’s place in history and some of the people who lived in it, illustrated with maps and photographs.
- Visit the archaeological site: a medieval tower with a violent past and links to the Wars of the Roses.
- View the parkland and the outside of castle itself; learn about the lives of some of the more colourful people who lived there, and the eventual tragic fate of the estate.
