A RYGHT DELECTABLE TRATYSE VPON A GOODLY GARLANDE OR CHAPELET OF LAURELL
... STUDYOUSLY DYUYSED AT SHERYFHOTTON CASTELL, IN THE FORESTE OF
GALTRES, &c.
Sheriff-Hutton Castle “is situated in the Wapentake of Bulmer, and is
distant ten miles north-east from York ... The slender accounts of it
that have reached our times, ascribe its origin to Bertram de Bulmer, an
English Baron, who is recorded by Camden to have built it in the reign
of King Stephen, A.D. 1140 ... From the Bulmers it descended by marriage
to the noble family of the Nevilles, and continued in their possession
upwards of 300 years, through a regular series of reigns, until seized
by Edward iv. in 1471, who soon after gave the Castle and Manor to his
brother the Duke of Gloucester, afterwards Richard iii. In 1485, in
consequence of the death of Richard at the Battle of Bosworth Field, it
became the property of King Henry vii., and continued in the hands of the
Crown, until James the First granted it to his son, Prince Charles, about
1616. The Castle and Manor were subsequently granted (also by King James,
according to Camden, and the original grant confirmed by Prince Charles
after he ascended the throne) to the family of the Ingrams, about 1624-5,
and are now in possession of their lineal descendant, the present
Marchioness of Hertford.” _Some Account of Sheriff-Hutton Castle_, &c.
pp. 3-5, York, 1824.
