Carlbury history
In 1320 Carlbury was given by the widow of Sir John FitzMarmaduke, Sheriff of North Durham, to Sir Thomas Earl of Lancaster and Leicester. After Sir Thomas was executed for treason in 1322, Carlbury went back to the widow’s family and thence to the House of Neville. It was included with Summerhouse and Ulnaby in the estate of the Nevilles in their capacity as Earls of Westmorland from 1354 to 1601, being mentioned in a 1553 document.
Carlbury Hill and Carlbury Hall
Carlbury Hill was the site of a Civil War battle between the two sides of the River Tees in 1642. Cannonballs and human bones have been found on the banks of the river. In 1875, architect John Ross built Carlbury Hall in Scots baronial style for National Provincial Bank manager Thomas McLachlan.
Archaeology
Smotherlaw Barrow is a scheduled monument which was thought to be the site of a castle in 1902. It was understood to be an elongated mound without a ditch, reduced by ploughing and probably a Bronze Age burial mound. Mortaria dated around 170–180 AD with painted inscriptions have been found in Carlbury Vale west.
