In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Selaby Park like this:
SELABY PARK, a seat in Gainford parish, Durham; on the river Tees, 6½ miles E of Barnard-Castle. It occupies the site of an ancient monastery; belonged forages to the Brackenburys, one of whom was slain at Bosworth Field; and belongs now to the Duke of Cleveland.
Selaby Park is now part of COUNTY DURHAM Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how COUNTY DURHAM has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Selaby Park itself, go to Statistics.
