The house dates back to the 15th century^[2] and came into the possession of the Milbank (also spelt Milbanke) family in 1690. The landed Milbank family have long held connections to this area of northern England. ^[3] Traditionally, the estate generated income from farming, forestry, and a productive set of grouse moors, as well as investments in residential and commercial property.^[4] More recently, the estate has sought to diversify its income under the tenure of Sir Edmward Milbank. Projects have included hospitality, taking the village pub, The Milbank Arms, in hand.^[5]

Filming Location

Several properties on the estate were used as filming locations for the popular television series All Creatures Great and Small.^[6]
