Standing in 270 acres of parkland, Raby Castle was the seat of the Neville family for two hundred years.
Standing in 270 acres of parkland, Raby Castle was the seat of the Neville family for two hundred years.
Raby Mere lies two miles east of the village of Raby, and has always been a popular Wirral destination, especially with Sunday School outings.
The plot to overthrow Elizabeth I failed, and Raby became forfeit to the Crown. In 1645 it was bought by the Vane family, who were Royalists.
Behind the houses was Raby Park, an imposing housing development stimulated by the arrival of the railway.
Built round an internal courtyard, Raby's defences included inner and outer curtain walls surrounded by a broad ditch.
Sir Robert Lumley was granted licences to crenellate in 1389 and 1392, making Lumley, along with Raby, County Durham's two late 14th-century castles.

Raby is first recorded in the 11th century, and is reputed to have been a royal residence of King Cnut. The castle dates from the 14th century, and was once the seat of the powerful Neville family.
Penrith was one of a number of northern castles built during the last decades of the 14th century; others included Bolton, Wressel, Raby and Lumley.
KING ATHELWOLD of England dies, leaving his baby daughter, Goldborough.
Ducks dabble peacefully in the beck which runs through the centre of the village, while a mother proudly poses with her baby.
On the left is the post office, and babies in coach-built prams.
In the centre two women, one holding a baby in her arms, watch the photographer at work.
Horses are very prominent in our photograph: one brave horse cab is going through the waves, and horses from the 'vans' (bathing machines) are coming ashore.
It must have been a hot day when this photograph was taken - note the boaters, the parasol and the baby in a frilly sunbonnet enjoying a ride in a goatcart. The market still takes place here today.
The fashion in babies' prams has changed since that lady pushed hers along the riverside path.

Notice, on the green, the large-wheeled pram and, further to the right, the more primitive three-wheeled baby carriage.
One of the busiest shops in Broad Walk was Bellmans, selling wool and patterns for babies and young children.
The baby asleep in the pram to the right is oblivious of the window boxes overhead.
His sign advertises 'Medicines, Cosmetics, Baby Requirements, Paints and Wallpapers, Garden Sundries, Veterinary Remedies, Stationery and Toys'.
