In the later medieval periods, Wenvoe is recorded as having belonged to three families: De Sully, le Fleming and Malefaunt.

However, according to Clifford Spurgeon, it wasn't until the late 1530s that a castle at Wenvoe was mentioned, when it appeared in Leland's Itinerary.

[1] After being escheated to the crown, it belonged successively to the Thomas, Birt and Jenner families.

[3] In 1774, the Thomas family fell into debts and sold the estate to Peter Birt, a coal magnate of Yorkshire.

[7] The Wenvoe Castle Golf Club was established in 1936, by the owner of the manor, Hugh Jenner.
