nture E L L L dve LONDESBOROUGH “A awaits! ” TRACKER PACK Parkland Ramble EXPLORE & DISCOVER Fascinating Facts NATIONAL TRAILS This walk takes you through the landscaped park of old Londesborough Hall. The parkland and historic gardens were created for the Boyle family (Earls of Burlington) who owned the Hall between 1643 and 1753. A highly regarded architect, called Robert Hooke, designed the gardens between 1676-80. The parkland was laid out later in the 1730s.
1: Old Londesborough Hall The Old Hall was demolished in 1818. At that time it was owned by the 6th Duke of Devonshire who preferred to invest his money and time in his home at Chatsworth. Look out for the terrace, steps and large urns that were part of the gardens. The cellars of the house still remain undergroundWO C and are now an important siteE for hibernating bats. L M R D Y 2: Deer Shelters I S CM Large herds of deer once roamed this park.
MY They could take shelter in the archways of this long Engraving of Londesborough Hall from Britannia Illustrata, brick wall, behindH which was a terraced garden. W CY Kip and Knyff, 1709
CMY S 3: Londesborough Park A K After the Old Hall had been demolished, the 6th Duke of Devonshire built this new house, known as the
'ShootingK Box', in 1839. Six years later he sold the house and estate to George Hudson,Y the 'Railway King'. Hudson bought land in the area to prevent anyone else from building the railway line between York and Market Weighton. As part of his railway empire, he built a private station nearby at Shiptonthorpe. However,R he was soon to fall from grace. With a trail of bribery,corruption and massive debts he spent a year in prison at York Castle in 1865/6.
4: DesertedO Village of Easthorpe The lumps and bumps in this field are the remains of a village that was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The houses were demolished in the 1730s whene the park was expanded. In a little while you will be walking along a farm track. Look at the fieldstu tor your left. In the grass field are a series of ridges. These may be the remains of the medievalen strip system! of” farming. The other fields have been ploughed to grow cereal crops, which has removeddv the ridges.aits 5: Roman Remains A aw By 1850, when the Denison“ family became owners of Londesborough, the large lake had drained away. The Denisons restored the lake and the old Kitchen Garden which once suppliedPACK fruit, vegetables and flowers for the Hall. When the lake was cleaned out in 1865 the remains of a Roman road were found. It is believed that a Roman Camp called DelgovitiaER once stood nearby.
