Topic: Warkworth, Northumberland


  
  Warkworth
Although the place of Warkworth is at least as old as the eighth century, the first castle built here was in the mid-twelfth century, a motte and bailey structure probably of wood.
By 1158 however, Northumberland was back in the hands of the English King Henry II and he gave the lands and castle to Roger FitzRichard, whose descendants retained it until the mid-fourteenth century.
In 1292, Warkworth was considered grand and safe enough for the English King Edward I to visit and it was garrisoned with troops during the Anglo-Scottish wars.
