Parkhouse Towers

Description

"A four-storey grey-stone building surrounded by railings," the official Tourist's Guide to Malton's description, barely scratches the surface of this fascinating and historic building with its crenellated towers, gorgeous views and ornate stonework.

History

Formerly the site of Norbert I's 9th century hunting lodge, a wooden structure which was destroyed in a fire after a bizarre banqueting incident, the strategic nature of the site ensured that it would remain important for the next thousand years.

Overlooking Malton's Great Rift Valley, which splits Pegton from the low-lying swamps of Dentonside, the locale attracted the attention of the Normans, who built an imposing keep on the escarpment. The outline of the bailey's defensive fence can still be discerned. The keep was extended and ornamented over the Middle Ages and early modern period, and a basic heating system installed to add to the creature comforts of this draughty stone fortress, but the distinctive Norman square tower and round archways remain at the heart of Parkhouse Towers.

Barricade Policy

Tradition dictates that the Towers be kept highly fortified, to keep Dentonians (and latterly, also zombies) out.
