On a commanding site above the River Swale, the building of Richmond Castle commenced in 1071, was completed by 1086 and then was expanded in the 12th century. Built of sandstone, the castle was derelict by 1540. It was restored in the early 19th century and, in 1855, became the headquarters of the North Yorkshire Militia. The castle was used during the First World War as the base of the Non-Combatant Corps of conscientious objectors – conscripts who refused to fight. It was also used to imprison some conscientious objectors, including the "Richmond Sixteen".
