110 No vestige of Plumpton Hall remains, though the well which may have supplied the house survived for a time near the entrance to Plumpton Rocks. The house was demolished by the purchaser, Daniel Lascelles, who used the stone to build a new residence designed by John Wyatt of York, on a different site. It remains unfinished because he decided to live instead at Goldsborough. A drawing of the south aspect of the old house, then known as Plumpton Towers, is in a collection of drawings made by Warburton, John, Clay, J.W.

I am indebted to Professor M.W. Beresford for bringing to my attention a map dated 18 April 1587, of the manor of Plumpton and its environs, PRO, MPC 230.
