Naworth Castle, Medieval castle in Brampton, England
Naworth Castle consists of a square keep and courtyard, featuring stone walls with defensive elements and a prominent gateway adorned with heraldic decorations.
The first recorded mention of the castle dates back to 1323, with Ralph Dacre receiving permission to add battlements from King Edward III in 1335.
The castle contains Pre-Raphaelite art collections and wooden sculptures known as Dacre Beasts, representing the family's heraldic heritage through carved figures.
Located near the A69 road between Newcastle and Carlisle, the castle stands two miles east of Brampton, across from Lanercost Priory.
During World War II, from 1939 to 1940, the castle provided temporary housing for students and staff of Rossall School, evacuated from Lancashire.
