Escrick Park

The estate was formed by Picot de Lascelles in the mid 12th century, and a manor house was first recorded in 1323.

His work included the north range, more than twice as long as the original house; a detached stable block; and remodelling of the interior.

In addition, a conservatory was constructed, and the east side was extended, providing a new entrance hall and larger dining room.

[1][2] In 1898, Thompson's descendents purchased Skipwith Hall, and in 1929 they made it their main residence, converting Escrick Park into flats.

The main range has floor bands, a moulded modillion cornice, a frieze, and a balustrade with urns on the corners.

[1][4] The grounds of the estate were laid out in the late 18th and early 19th century, and as part of the process, much of the village of Escrick was demolished and rebuilt on new sites.
