Wilton is a small village in Redcar and Cleveland, North Yorkshire, England.
Marks on the walls inside the church are believed to have been made by Cromwell's soldiers from sharpening their arrowheads and other weapons.
The estate was confiscated by the Crown following the attainder and execution of Sir John and Lady Bulmer for high treason arising out of their part in the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536.
The manor was restored to their son but was lost again, by sequestration in 1644, following Sir William Bulmers opposition to Parliament during the English Civil War.
Lowther demolished the remains of the medieval castle and built, in about 1810, an imposing mansion house on the site, to a design by architect Sir Robert Smirke.
The family sold the property in 1945 to Imperial Chemical Industries for use as offices occupied at various times by major industrialists such as Richard Beeching and Sir John Harvey Jones.
ICI sold it in 1999, after which the golf club was acquired by its members and the castle converted into residential apartments.
Following the fragmentation of ICI, since 1995, Enron owned the facility briefly before it was acquired by Sembcorp,[6] a Singaporean utility company.
