Haunting History of Naworth Castle, Cumbria, England
Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as Naward,it stands close to Hadrian's Wall and was built to guard the Scottish borderland.
Falling in love and becoming pregnant by the lord of the castle, a local girl committed suicide after being shunned by him after their love affair. Though her mother then cursed the evil lord (resulting in his death, and that of the estate's future heir), the young lass still returns to the site.Another version of the story has Lord Dacre himself as the villain and the girl drowning herself after learning the true identity of her lover. The mother is again the agent of the demise of Dacre and son.
The castle is thought to have late 13th-century origins, in the form of a square keep and bailey. It was first mentioned in 1323, and in 1335 a licence to crenellate was granted to Ralph Dacre.
Thomas Dacre (1467-1525), who commanded the reserve of the English army at the Battle of Flodden and was known as the Builder Dacre, built the castle's gateway and placed over it his coat of arms with the Dacre family motto below: Fort en Loialte (Norman-French: Strong in Loyalty). There were further additions in 1602, for his successor Lord William Howard. It is likely that the 18th-century walled garden lies within the boundaries of the original moat.
Howard was known for hanging Scots — as many as 63 in a two-year time span. The hangman’s tree is still on the estate. A notable occupant of his priest hole was a Catholic activist by the name of Nicholas Roscarrock. Roscarrock is said to have been the last man to die on the rack. Some of the Howards spent a lot of time in the Tower of London. One of them, Sir Philip Howard, spent 13 years there; he was later canonised a Catholic saint.
