Image shows Harewood Castle located off the west side of Harrogate Road. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade 1 listed, being the finest example of a medieval fortified Tower House in Yorkshire. Here, the pointed-arched doorway with chamfered surround at the east entrance can be seen. The groove for the portcullis still exists.
Above the portcullis chamber there is the remains of a traceried chapel window at third floor level. It is flanked by carved stone shields depicting the coat-of-arms of Edward Baliol, King of Scotland, left, and the Aldburgh coat-of-arms, right. Harewood Castle was the seat of Sir William de Aldburgh who was a high ranking messenger in the service of Edward Baliol. An inscription over the rectangular window reads in Latin 'Vat Sal be Sal', or translated 'What Shall be Shall.
