Raby Castle.
Grade l listed.
Raby Castle was originally built 1367-90 by John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville (1337-1388). 

The castle has an irregular plan, with nine towers along its perimeter. The main entrance was in the west through the four-storey Neville Gateway. Access to the gatehouse was via a drawbridge, since replaced by a flagged causeway. The gatehouse originally contained three portcullises, as is shown by the still-visible grooves used to work them. Two smaller towers beside the gatehouse have no defensive function and were added during the renovations of Henry Vane, 2nd Earl of Darlington (1726-1792).

Extensive C18 alterations and additions by a succession of architects including James Paine and John Carr of York.
C19 additions by William Burn (1789-1870), 1864.

Property of the Neville family until forfeited to the Crown after Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland took part in the 1569 Rising of the North. Acquired by Sir Henry Vane in 1626, whose descendants became successively Barons Barnard, Earls of Darlington and Dukes of Cleveland.  All of the 4th Duke's titles except for Baron Barnard became extinct upon his death without issue in 1891.
