Red House, Moor Monkton

The Red House is a historic building in Moor Monkton, north-west of York in England.

This was almost certainly located inside a moat which survives as an earthwork, 50 metres north-west of the present house.

In 1607, the house was owned by Henry Slingsby, who built a new property of the same name, with outbuildings including a chapel, which survives.

Inside, the central bedroom retains 18th century panelling, and the cornice in the living room and some door frames are of similar date.

Inside, original features include the pulpit, bench ends, pews, ante-chapel screen, and consoles which support the gallery.
