From the Collection of the Ingilby Family of Ripley Castle
Lots 209 - 221
Located three miles from Harrogate on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Ripley Castle has been the seat of the Ingilby family since the 14th century. Sir Thomas Ingliby (c. 1290–1352) married the heiress, Edeline Thwenge in 1308/9 and acquired the Ripley Castle estate with its medieval manor house as her dowry. While hunting, their eldest son, Thomas (1310–1369), saved Edward III from being attacked by a wild boar and was duly knighted with the boar's head incorporated into the Ingilby family crest (see lots 209 and 213). Subsequent generations of the Ingilby family have survived periods of political and religious turmoil and witnessed great societal change. Today, the Ingilby family still live at Ripley Castle and have been opening it to the public since 1954.
