About Norham Castle

Norham Castle is a mansion in Northumberland, England, ignoring the River Tweed, on the outskirt among England and Scotland. It is a Grade I recorded building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The stronghold saw much activity amid the wars among England and Scotland. The palace was established when Ranulf Flambard, Bishop of Durham from 1099 to 1128, gave orders for its development in 1121, with the end goal to secure the property of the priestly district in north Northumberland, from attacks by the Scots.
In 1136 David I of Scotland attacked Northumberland and caught the chateau. It was before long given back to the ward, however was caught again in 1138 amid another intrusion. This time, the structure of the manor was considerably harmed. It stayed abandoned until Hugh de Puiset, Bishop of Durham from 1153 to 1195, had the stronghold remade. The work was most likely coordinated by Richard of Wolviston, who was the minister's planner.
