Aldby Park

Aldby Park

Aldby Park is a country estate in the village of Buttercrambe near the village of Stamford Bridge in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

The house, replacing the original Tudor one, was built around 1725 by Jane Darley but it occupies the an ancient site believed to be where Edwin of Northumbria was crowned King in 625 AD.

Aldby Park is best known as being the ancestral home of the Darley family. This family's best known member is Thomas Darley, brother of Jane Darley, who owned the celebrated Darley Arabian horse which is widely recognised as being the earliest ancestor of most of the world's thoroughbred race horses.
