Wressle Castle, Wressle, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Looking north-northeast across the River Derwent at dusk. The Wressle Castle ruins were once part of a larger building begun in around 1380 by Sir Thomas Percy, brother of the Earl of Northumberland. Thomas Percy lost his head for siding with his brother Henry Percy who led a rebel army against King Henry IV at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. The castle was later occupied by parliamentary forces during the English Civil War, and in 1648 they dismantled most of the building leaving two corner towers and one of the four ranges which connected them. What remained of the castle was occupied until 1796 when it was gutted by a fire. There is currently no general public access to Wressle Castle which is situated on a working farm owned by the Falkingham family.
