6th Baron of Thirsk, 4th Baron Mowbray, was one of the 25 executors of the Magna Carta in 1215. The Mowbrays built a manor house on the old castle site which was destroyed by the Scots in 1322. The manor continued to be in the Mowbrays' possession, despite several claims, until the death of the 16th Lord Mowbray in 1476.
