Summary[edit]

Description
English: Flamborough Castle, Flamborough, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

The photograph shows the tower, being the only remains above ground, and associated earthworks.

This 'castle' was, in fact, the fortified manor house of the Constable family who had received licence to crenelate in 1351. Although containing a tower, a hall, a great parlour, a lord's parlour, a chapel, a court house, a mill house, and a great barn it was described in the early 16th century as being taken for a manor house rather than a castle. It can be compared with the Northumbrian 'Pele' towers and, like them, was probably made defensible to guard against Scottish raiders.
