Knaresborough Castle

The Museums & Arts section of Harrogate Borough Council very kindly provided the detailed information on Knaresborough Castle. It is reproduced almost completely verbatim from the guidebook to the castle (1998) and the Acknowledgements are included below. I would personally like to thank Mary Kershaw, the Curator of Harrogate Museums & Arts, for her enthusiastic support and guidance.

Unfortunately instances of information and images being removed from websites and reproduced without permission is increasing. I have therefore reluctantly had to protect the Knaresborough Castle pages, which are some of the most attractive to theft. This means that Find facilities on browsers may not operate, for which I apologise. Alyson Jackson

Acknowledgements from the Guide Book

Research into the history and development of Knaresborough Castle is a continuing process to which many people have contributed over the years. This current guidebook is indebted to the archaeological work done at the castle by Stephen Barber in the 1920's and by Jean le Patourel in 1961. The support and guidance of English Heritage has been instrumental in developing an understanding of the castle. More recent work has been greatly assisted by the efforts of the KNAG's (Knaresborough Archaeological Group), and in particular Tony Law, whose great affection for, and knowledge of, Knaresborough Castle has been an irreplaceable resource. I am also indebted to John Symington for his work on the history of the castle, and his enthusiasm for the people who have created that history.
