Manor of Northstead
The
Manor of Northstead
is a former medieval estate in
North Yorkshire
,
England
. The
manor house
no longer exists, and the land has since been redeveloped and forms part of modern-day
Scarborough
, in the area of
Peasholm Park
and
Scarborough Open Air Theatre
. The ancient title of the
Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead
persisted beyond the manor, however, being used since the 19th century as a
sinecure
post which plays a role in the procedure for effecting
resignation from the British House of Commons
