More about this scene
Originating from a 13th-century pele tower, the castle was largely rebuilt as a stately home during the 18th century. One owner, Sir Edward Stanley, fought at Flodden in 1513 and was subsequently created Lord Mounteagle for his valiant service. It is said that he built the tower of nearby St Margaret's Church as a thanksgiving for his safe return.

A Selection of Memories from Hornby
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Hornby
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I have a photo of my great-grandfather John Richard (Dick) Erskine outside the Castle Hotel, Hornby in 1909 with two young Scouts named Lawrence and Hector Todd (born 1900 and 1901 approx). They all formed part of the 1st Lancaster Troop. If anyone has any information about Dick Erskine (especially post 1945), I would love to hear from them as am researching the family history.
My memories are of dancing in the Castle Hotel, in the upstairs ballroom before the new vilage hall was built.
