Bolton Percy Gatehouse

The gatehouse was built in the late 15th century, as the entrance to a courtyard of buildings including the village rectory.

In 1799, the Crown Inn was built next to the gatehouse, at which time the western part of the building may have been reduced to one storey.

It was considered for removal to the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings, but was instead donated to the Bolton Percy Gatehouse Trust and restored on site, from 1972 to 1974.

[1] The building was later purchased by the Vivat Trust, which in 2010 converted it into a two-bedroom house, to be used as a holiday let.

[3] The building is entirely timber framed, and is built of oak, with infill, over a plinth of Magnesian Limestone.
