Hornby Castle
Hornby Castle is a Grade I listed country house in Lancashire, developed from a medieval castle and largely remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building presents an irregular, battlemented sandstone frontage with a mix of medieval towers and Victorian additions and remains a private residence with historic interiors.

As it stood in 1890
The shape it held in its prime.
Sandstone rubble building with slate roofs and an irregular two-storey plan dominated by battlemented parapets; the entrance front has seven bays with projecting lateral bays and a central three-storey porch with an octagonal turret and diagonal buttress. Windows are mullioned or mullioned-and-transomed, including a prominent oriel above the porch and canted bay windows; a shorter square tower sits behind the porch and a taller narrow polygonal tower rises further left. Red climbing ivy covers much of the south facade.
