Summerhouse Moat
-
Description
....Obscure traces of extensive foundations remain in a field on the south side of the village, which are locally called "The Castle Garth." (Surtees conjectures the name of the township to have been originally applied to a summer residence of the early lords of Raby.) At the feast of St. Cuthbert, in September, 1207, William, son of Robert Beneit, gave to the monastery of Durham certain lands in Summerhouse; and by another charter, he added six oxgangs which William Mastel held. These lands were afterwards granted by the prior and monks to the Nevilles. After the attainder, the estate was sold, and became the property of the Sandfords of Hewgill Castle, Westmoreland, and subsequently passed by marriage to Philip and Filmer Honeywood, of Markshall, Essex, from whom it was purchased, in 1786.....Comments: Given the nearby location of Raby Castle (8km west) seems unlikely as a Neville residence. Ancillary accommodation? Hunting lodge?.... -
