South Milford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

South Milford is a small village located in the district of Selby, in the county of North Yorkshire, England. Historically an agricultural village, the population has recently boomed due to housing development. South Milford is now generally considered a commuting satellite for nearby towns and cities, thanks to the local Motorway network, including the A1(M) and M62. Nevertheless the village maintains links with the local farming community.

[edit] Steeton Hall

A view of Steeton Hall Gateway as it is today.

Steeton Hall Gateway is a listed ancient monument and is protected by English Heritage. It is situated about two kilometres west of South Milford. The gateway originally served a large hall, which was demolished and replaced by a house, which has since then been converted into several dwellings. The gateway dates from the 15th Century, and is one of four such structures which marked the corners of the estate. It has two arched passages, the large one in the centre to allow horsemen and carriages through and the smaller one to the left for footmen. There is a spiral staircase which leads into a large room above the arch and there are a number of shields and coats of arms surrounding the structure. Steeton Hall Gateway has been described as a "fair and stately structure in the brave days of old" by Edmund Bogg in "Round About Leeds".
