Kirby Knowle Castle- Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as Kirkby Knowle; Newbygill; New Building

Large house. Mid C17 for James Danby with C16 origins; thoroughly restored 1875, and altered 1875.

A castle is said to have been built on this site in the late C13 by Roger Lascelles, but it burnt down c1568 while owned by Sir John Constable. Before he could finish the repair work Constable died and it was not

until the 1650s that reconstruction began again, for James Danby. Danby repaired the old parts, built the south front and west wing and changed the name to New Building. By the late C17 the house had passed to the Rokeby family.

There were probably four corner towers to the first castle; of these one remains, and is occupied by a staircase of black oak.

Not too far away is UPSALL CASTLE (occaisionally mentioned as Upfall)
