What is recorded here

Sneaton Castle Centre occupies a former school on Castle Road in Whitby, serving education, recreation and community gatherings beside St Hilda’s Priory. The priory is the headquarters of the Order of the Holy Paraclete and home to its Sisters, including a care place for elderly members. The castle label on public maps may mislead, but the buildings and their uses are clear.

Sneaton Castle Centre is shown as a castle on the public map of North Yorkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Sneaton Castle was built in the 14th century by the powerful Percy family, who held significant influence in northern England. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in the defense against Scottish raids and as a symbol of medieval noble power in the region.
