Built for Lord John Neville in the late 14th century, the castle replaced an earlier motte and bailey castle which dates to the reign of King Stephen. Eventually finding its way into the hands of the notorious Richard Neville, AKA 'The Kingmaker', Sheriff Hutton passed through his daughter to Richard Duke of Gloucester, later King Richard III. In 1484 Richard established the Council of the North, its headquarters at Sheriff Hutton. A fascinating fact is that whilst waiting the invasion of England by Henry Tudor, King Richard sent his nice, Elizabeth of York, to the castle along with her sisters and a handful of Young Earls. Following Richard's defeat at the battle of Bosworth, Sheriff Hutton castle passed to King Henry VI, followed by his son, Henry VIll, and later Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk.
