'a pile in yorkshire' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'chicken wraps he cooked with salt' is the wordplay.
'chicken' becomes 'coward' (similar in meaning).
'wraps' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters get wrapped up).
'cooked with' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'he' mixed up with 'salt' gives 'astleh'.
'coward' enclosing 'astleh' is 'CASTLE HOWARD'.

'in' acts as a link.
