There are [[stately home]]s in Yorkshire that carry the name "castle" in a similar way to the non-distinctive use of [[chateau]] in French. The most notable examples are [[Allerton Castle]] and [[Castle Howard]], both linked to the [[Howard family]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.northernlifestyle.com/pdf/northside/nside_aug06.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080527221321/http://www.northernlifestyle.com/pdf/northside/nside_aug06.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=27 May 2008|title=Northside, August 2006|publisher=NorthernLifestyle.com|access-date=24 October 2007}}<br/>{{cite book | last =Saumarez Smith | first =Charles | title =The Building of Castle Howard | publisher =University of Chicago Press | year =1990 | url =https://books.google.com/books?id=ZxoU2x-vHDkC&q=howard+recusant+%22duke+of+norfolk%22&pg=PA10 | isbn =0-226-76403-6 | access-date =23 November 2020 | archive-date =17 August 2021 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20210817180249/https://books.google.com/books?id=ZxoU2x-vHDkC&q=howard+recusant+%22duke+of+norfolk%22&pg=PA10 | url-status =live }}<br/>{{cite web|url=http://www.britainexpress.com/counties/yorkshire/Castle_Howard.htm|title=Castle Howard|publisher=Britain Express|access-date=24 October 2007|archive-date=16 October 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071016071633/http://britainexpress.com/counties/yorkshire/Castle_Howard.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Castle Howard and the [[Earl of Harewood]]'s residence, [[Harewood House]], are included amongst the nine [[Treasure Houses of England]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.treasurehouses.co.uk|title=Welcome to The Treasure Houses of England|publisher=TreasureHouses.co.uk|access-date=24 October 2007|archive-date=18 October 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071018044432/http://www.treasurehouses.co.uk/|url-status=live}}</ref>
