This legendary UK castle has remained in the same family for 700-plus years - now it's listed for the first time ever
Briefly

Ripley Castle, a historic Grade I estate in Yorkshire, is on the market after 715 years under the Ingilby family. Priced at $21.9 million, the sale signifies the end of an era for the current owners, Sir Thomas and Lady Emma Ingilby, who have managed the estate for decades. The castle, a notable witness to history, spanning wars and royal visits, is set on 445 acres of picturesque land. The Ingilbys seek a new chapter of spontaneity after generations of responsibility.
For 700 years, my family has served as custodians of this magnificent place. Everywhere I look, there's evidence of my ancestors and those who came before us.
We feel that we've never really had the chance to be spontaneous. We've been working seven days a week for so long, and we're nearly 70.
