MenuAydon Castle, Northumberland
Aydon Castle (aka Aydon Hall) is a fortified manor house in Northumberland. Almost completely intact, it is one of the finest and most unaltered examples of a 13th-century English manor house. It was originally built at the end of the 13th century by Robert de Reymes, a wealthy Suffolk merchant, as an undefended residence. However, it was almost immediately fortified on the outbreak of Anglo-Scottish warfare and the castle changed hands between the English and Scots several times over subsequent years. The castle later became a farmhouse in the 17th century and was lived in up until 1966. It is within the council area of Northumberland.
