The entrance to Newburgh Priory and the lake in the grounds below it on the road to Coxwold.  Newburgh Burgh is based on a Tudor manor house of the 15th-16th century that was built from the original medieval Augustinian Priory buildings founded in 1145. Various modifications have been carried out and added to over the following centuries.

The Priory was dissolved in 1529 and went to Anthony Bellasis, Henry VIII's chaplain. It remained in the Bellasis family, who later became Viscounts and then Earls Fauconberg. Newburgh is still lived in by their descendents, by the present Baronet and his wife, Sir George and Lady Wombwell and their two children Stephen born 1977 and Sarah born 1980.

 There are two pavilions, one on either side of the Newburgh Priory entrance.

The large house, now known as Newburgh Priory, originates from the Priory and now consists of two periods of 18th century buildings, some early 17th century work and older stonework of an indeterminate medieval date.
