Crayke Manor sits at the bottom of Castle Hill,
immortalised by its appearance in one of our best-loved nursery rhymes.
Penny Churchill takes a look at this beautiful period home. In the rolling landscape of North Yorkshire’s Howardian
Hills you’ll find the historic village of Crayke, which stands on the
southern slopes of Castle Hill — the hill where, back in the day, ‘the
