Medieval moated manor site, Burrough Green

History of medieval moated manor

The manor takes its name from Thomas de Burgh who was granted it by the honour of Richmond during the 12th century. The property passed by marriage to the Ingoldsthorpes in the 15th century and then to Lord Scrope of Masham. It was sold in 1574 to Sir Anthony Cage, who probably built The Hall, and was in the hands of the Slingsby family about a century later.
