While it is unknown who took over the hall and estate following Sir Richard Junior’s death, there is evidence that his son, also called Richard, who was involved in a Royalist plot in the 1650s and was imprisoned in Hull. However, it is known that the estate was passed by marriage to the Wharton family and from there it was passed to the Byerley family.Richard Hutton’s granddaughter, Mary Wharton, married her first cousin Robert Byerley who took over the hall and estate.
Robert Byerley bought a very rare Turkish horse through his marriage and became Byerley’s war horse who ended up saving his life in 1690 at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland. The horse, named Byerley Turk, retired to a life of stud at Goldsborough Hall. This horse is also crucial to thoroughbred horse history as it is the first of three stallions that make up all thoroughbreds in the world today.
