Situated amidst 200 acres of deer park in County Durham, England, Raby Castle is a medieval stronghold close to Staindrop. John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville de Raby, constructed it sometime between 1367 and 1390. This is the birthplace of Cecily Neville, the mother of Kings Edward IV and Richard III. Since the thirteenth century, the Neville family possessed the manor of Raby. Despite not having a legal title, the family began to be called to Parliament in 1295 under the title of Barons of Raby. John de Neville received permission from Thomas Hatfield, Bishop of Durham, in 1378 to fortify his land at Raby. Raby Castle was placed under royal protection in 1569 following the failure of the Rising of the North, spearheaded by Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland, in support of Mary, Queen of Scots. The Earls of Darlington and the Dukes of Cleveland erected an octagonal drawing room and an entry hall in the Gothic style after Sir Henry Vane the Elder bought Raby Castle and the nearby Barnard Castle from the Crown in 1626. They still go by Lord Barnard, but were the Dukes of Cleveland from 1833 to 1891. Both the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries saw a great deal of alteration. It is renowned for both the magnitude and its artwork, which includes portraits and pieces by historical masters. Following 1733, the poet Christopher Smart, who was just eleven years old at the time, would often visit there. At thirteen, he had a brief elopement with Anne Vane, the daughter of Henry Vane, the man who had inherited the Barnard title. The building, which is open to the public during certain seasons, is Grade I listed. The Vane family, the Barons Barnard, still resides at the castle, which is still a private residence. #History #Architecture #Castles
