Description |
An unidentified family stands in front of Castle Howard. Part of the house dates to the early 18th century; main portion to c. 1760. The photograph probably shows the house in the late 19th or early 20th century. The house has been owned by several prominent people, including Stockton family members, John Witherspoon, and the British military officer Captain Howard. Colonel Erkuries Beatty lived at the Castle Howard farm before moving to Beatty House in 1816, and kept a diary of his years at Castle Howard. |
