Ripley Castle North Yorkshire England Ingilby family priest hole landscaped grounds ornamental lake public tourism


Ripley is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire in England, a few miles north of Harrogate on the A61 road towards Ripon. A castle dating from the 15th century, Ripley Castle, has been the home of the Ingilby family for 700 years.[1] The present owner is Sir Thomas Ingilby, 6th Baronet (see Ingilby Baronets), the 28th generation. The castle, which has a priest hole, is open for public tours. The landscaped castle grounds and ornamental lakes are also open to the public. A nineteenth century Ingilby tore down the old village and modelled it after an Alsatian village with an hôtel de ville style town hall. The castle and the parish church were not affected by the reconstruction.
