Historical Description

Kirklington. To the north of the village stands Kirklington Hall, the pleasant seat of W. Dacre, Esq. the materials for building which were brought from an ancient castle, belonging to the Dacres, which stood at a few hundred yards distance, and was formerly called Clough Hall. The view from Kirklington Hall is very extensive, commanding a fine vale, which extends even to the Solway Firth.

From Clough Hall the famous archers, Clym o' the Clough, and Willyam of Cloudesle, who make such considerable figures in the Garland of Adam Bell, are supposed to have taken their names. Three adjoining villages are still called Clough Head, Clough Side, and Long Clough Side.

About three miles to the south of Kirklington, at the small village of Scaleby, is Scaleby Castle, which, though standing in a low situation, appears to have been a place of more than ordinary strength; having formerly been surrounded by two circular moats, the circumference of the outermost being about a mile. The Castle was erected in the centre, and was entered by two draw bridges, defended by a high tower, and a very lofty wall. "At present," says Mr. Gilpin, the celebrated essayist of picturesque beauty, who was born, and passed his early years within this edifice, "one of the moats only remains; the other is filled up, but may still be traced. The castle is more complete than such buildings generally are; it preserved its perfect form till the civil wars of the 16th century, when, in too much confidence of its strength, its gates were shut against Cromwell, who made it a monument of his vengeance. He has rent the tower, and demolished two of its sides, the edges of the other two, he has shattered into broken lines. The chasm discovers the whole plan of the internal structure: the vestiges of the several stories, the inversion of the arches, which supported them, the windows for speculation, and the breastwork for assaults.

"The walls of this castle are uncommonly magnificent, they are not only of great height, but of great thickness; and defended by a large bastion; the greatest of them is chambered within, and wrought into several recesses. A massive portcullis-gate leads to the ruins of what was once the habitable part of the castle, in which a large vaulted hall is the most remarkable apartment; and under it are dark and capacious dungeons. The area within the mote, which consists of several acres, was originally intended to support the cattle which should be driven thither in times of alarm. When the house was inhabited, this area was the garden, and all around, on the outside the mote, stood noble trees, regularly planted, the growth of a century. Beneath the trees ran a walk round the mote, which on one hand commanded the castle in every point of view; and on the other overlooked a country, consisting of extensive meadows bounded by lofty mountains.

"This venerable pile has now undergone a second ruin; the old oaks and elms, the ancient natives of the scene, are felled, weeds and spiry grass have taken possession of the courts, and have obliterated the very plan of a garden, while the house itself is a scene of desolation. The chambers un-windowed, and almost unroofed, fluttering with rags of ancient tapestry, are the haunts of daws and pigeons, which burst out in clouds of dust when the doors are opened, while the floors yielding to the tread, make curiosity dangerous. A few pictures, heir-looms of the wall, are the only appendages of this dissolving pile, which have triumphed over the injuries of time. Swallows and martins are every where about the ruins; either twittering on broken quoins, threading some fractured arch, or pursuing each other in screaming circles round the walls of the castle."

This manor was granted to Richard Tilliol by Henry I. after which, coming into the possession of Sir Edward Musgrave, it was sold by his grandson to Mr. R. Gilpin, whose grandson again sold it to Govenor Stephenson, in whose family it still remains.
