Selby family

The Selby family, of English gentry, originated in Selby, Yorkshire, but largely settled in Northumberland. At various points through history, the family owned Biddlestone Hall and Twizell Castle in Northumberland in addition to the Manor House of Ightham Mote in Kent. The family had two baronetcies; the Selby and the Selby-Bigge but both are now extinct.
