More information : (SE 5295 7017) Manor House on Site of (NAT), Easingwold Hall (NR), Fishpond (NR) (Remains of) (NAT). (1) Rectory House, variously called Easingwold Hall or Manor House, and belonging to the Archdeacons of Richmond, was demolished in 1835 and replaced by a new building. The only remains are the moat, garden walls, fishpond and a few very old Weymouth pines which surround the site. From 1290 to 1317 the Manor House "became very ruinous and greatly in need of repair". (2) The `new' manor house has now been demolished and the site developed for housing. There are no remains of the fishpond, nor any trace of a moat. (3) At SE 5290 7018 there was a large negative earthwork in 1953 (4a), just to the west of the site of Easingwold hall. It is not clear whether this is the fishpond described by authority 2 or a small quarry. By 1972 the feature had been levelled. (Morph No. HH.22.4.1). This description is based on data from the RCHME MORPH2 database. (4) Easingwold Manor was a royal demesne from the Conquest until it was granted to the abbot of Thorney in the reign of Henry III. In 1217 it was included in a list of royal hunting lodges. (5)
