View through Europeana Collections
Sketch of the ruins of Wilton Castle at near
Redcar. This is presumably the remains of a medieval building,
possibly a castle or fortified manor house. Langdale's Yorkshire
Dictionary (1822) reports 'At the western extremity of this
village, formerly stood the ruins of Wilton Castle, the baronial
seat of the Bulmers, an ancient family of great reputation and
large possessions in Yorkshire, and the county of Durham'. The
Bulmers lost their estate and in the 16th century it was given to
the Cornwallis family. Lord Cornwallis sold the estate to Sir
Stephen Fox, father of Henry Fox, the politician. In c.1810 a
country house was built here by Sir Robert Smirke, in the style of
a castle.
