Lumley Castle, Quadrangular castle in Little Lumley, England
The stone castle features four towers connected by ranges of buildings, forming a rectangular courtyard with architectural elements from different periods.
Ralph de Lumley transformed his manor house into a castle in 1389, but lost his property after his execution for plotting against King Henry IV.
The castle maintains medieval traditions through regular banquets where staff members wear period costumes and serve traditional English dishes.
The castle functions as a hotel with 73 guest rooms, offering accommodations in both the main building and the courtyard area.
The King James Suite occupies the space of a former chapel, marking the location where King James I stopped during his journey to London in 1603.
