Low Burton Hall

In the civil parish of Burton On Yore.
In the historic county of Yorkshire North Riding (Modern Authority of North Yorkshire, 1974 county of North Yorkshire).

A house dating to C15 with C16 and C17 alterations. Ingham list this as a fortified house and writes "regarded as an interesting fortified house of the 13th century, once the home of the Scropes" This seems to be wrong on in almost all accounts, the house is not fortified, is of C15 date and belonged to the Wyvill family; the Scropes held the neighbouring estate of Masham but not this manor.

This site has been described as a;
Fortified Manor House.
This site is rejected as a medieval fortification or palace.
This site is a Grade 2 listed building protected by law*. (Images of England number 324992)
