There are no visible remains.

Description

The archbishop of York has a residential manor at Partington. The status of this manor is reflected in the parish church of St Patrick, an outstanding example of decorated gothic known as the 'Queen of Holderness'.

A review of historical documentary and cartographic sources relating to the Patrington manorial complex. This study comprised the first phase of evaluation of the site in advance of proposed residential development. Two hypotheses regarding the origins of the site were developed: first that the moated site was the Archbishop of York's manor house (13th/14th century); the other, that the moat was created for an orchard in the 18th century. (ADS summary of Daniell 1996)
Comments

The parish, during the medieval period, had a small haven so would have been rather more convenient for travel than it now seems. The manor house was probably with a square moat that was near the rectory, shown on the 1855 OS map but now mainly built over.
