Parlington was greatly modified during the many centuries it served the Gascoigne family, the materials used reflect trends of the respective times. The two pricipal blocks forming the main south elevation, although built in different styles were both in limestone ashlar. The west wing and stables were of brickwork, parts of which were rendered.

The Main Entrance Portico [Shown above] was also ashlar but out of sandstone. Some of the oldest section, which overlooked the Kitchen Yard, a cobbled area bounded by various outbuildings, [the paving still remains], was built in rubble walling with arch headed windows and jambs in smooth faced stone.

The new site adds considerably to the content about Parlington, but until the whole site has been redesigned some sections may be unavailable on the new site, to overcome this problem, you can visit any of the old pages by clicking on the icon below to show the original site navigation.

A picture of the pump and window of the Servants Hall, taken in the late twenties or early thirties, but not available for publication, shows the heavily weathered stonework and the coursed window surround in smooth stone, a great example of a similar arch is the fireplace in the old pub in the centre of Aberford The Arabian Horse.
