Introduction

Carlton Towers is a privately owned Victorian Gothic-style English stately home set amongst 250 acres of parkland in the beautiful Yorkshire landscape. There has been an origianl house on the estate since Domesday. Carlton Towers is currently home to Lord and Lady Gerald Fitzalan Howard and their three children. 

 
We offer exclusive use of the venue comprising three grand State Rooms, 16 individually and beautifully designed character bedrooms, a Minstrel’s Gallery, Bar, Entrance Halls, Armoury and grounds. The State Rooms stretch across the length of the house (spanning 175 foot) and provide a regal Victorian surrounding that is simply unforgettable.
 
The lavishly decorated and spacious bedrooms are all en suite or with a private bathroom and are located within separate wings and two tall towers. The rooms were recently redesigned to a 5 star standard by Lady Gerald herself and each one will take you back in time to a world of opulence and splendour.

History to the present day

Carlton Towers has been passed entirely by inheritance since the Norman Conquest. At the time of the Domesday Survey it was recorded as being held, along with ninety three Yorkshire Manors, by Robert De Brus.

Carlton Towers moved through many generations before being passed on to Lady Beaumont, who owned Carlton Towers for 76 years, a period which saw two world wars and great social changes. In the Second World War the house was used as an auxiliary military hospital.

Lord Gerald Fitzalan Howard, his wife Emma and their family now live at Carlton Towers.
