Sheriff Hutton Timeline
1086
The village is mentioned twice in the Domesday
Book as Hotun in the Bulford
hundred. Before the Norman invasion the manor was split between several land owners. Those named
included Ligulf, Northmann, Thorkil, Thorsten and Thorulf.
Afterwards some of the land was retained by the Crown and others given
to Count Robert of Mortain who installed
Sir Nigel Fossard as lord of the manor.
Soon after this, the land was in the possession of
the Bulmer family.
1140
Bertram de Bulmer built the first castle in
the village during the reign of King Stephen. In 1140, during the
reign of King Stephen, a motte-and-bailey castle was
built here in the Forest of Galtres by
Bertram de Bulmer, the remains of which can be seen to the south of the
churchyard. Those remains have been designated Ancient Monument status.
Topographical
Dictionaries, A Topographical Dictionary of England Hutton-Buscel – Huyton, 1848: This
place is celebrated for its castle, erected in the time of Stephen (1140) by
Bertram de Bulmer, from whose family it descended by marriage to the Nevilles,
who held it till the battle of Barnet, in 1471, when Richard Neville, Earl of
Warwick, was slain, and his estates confiscated.
1153
After the civil war between Stephen and Matilda, the
castle and manor were seized by the Crown before being held for the king by
the Mauley family.
Fourteenth Century
The manor eventually came into the possession of
the Nevill family in the 14th century until 1480, when they were
surrendered to the Crown.
The extant remains of the stone Castle at the western
end of the village were built by John, Lord Neville in the late
fourteenth century.
1484
The Nevill Castle was used by Richard III to
house his nephew Edward, Earl of Warwick and his niece, Elizabeth of
York.
Topographical
Dictionaries, A Topographical Dictionary of England Hutton-Buscel – Huyton, 1848:
Edward IV bestowed it upon his brother, subsequently Richard III., and it
became the prison of Edward Plantagenet, who was confined within its walls
until the death of Richard on Bosworth-Field: the
Princess Elizabeth of York, afterwards consort of Henry VII., was also confined
here.
Seventeenth Century
Various grants of land were made up to the 17th
century when possession is recorded as belonging to Sir Thomas Ingram. The
Ingram family, by way of various marriages, maintained lordship until 1904,
when it passed to Hon. Edward Frederick Lindley Wood.
Topographical Dictionaries, A
Topographical Dictionary of England Hutton-Buscel – Huyton, 1848: The castle
and manor remained in the hands of the crown till 1625, when they were granted
to the Ingrams. The ruins of the castle are of quadrangular form, with a large
open court in the centre, and the angles flanked with high square towers; a
considerable part of the warder's tower, over the eastern gateway, still remains.
1857
