Moor Monkton Rede House Details

Moor Monkton Rede House is withtin the grounds of the Red House Estate and consists of a rectangular moated platform of medieval date probably C13 or C14. Originally the village of Scagglethorpe lay adjacent but this has now vanished. By the 17th century the moated platform had become abandoned and soon afterwards the mansion of Red house was built. The estate offers accommodation and a caravan site meaning access may be possible on request.
