WARKWORTH CASTLE, ANCIENT  

SEAT OF THE NOBLE PERCYS  

"THE River Coquet rises in the eastern  

slopes of the Cheviot Hills and winds  

for forty miles through the heather and  

bracken of the Northumberland moors  

to its outlet in the North Sea, near the  

village of Warkworth, Here, high above  

the river, on crown of rock stands the  

ruins of Warkworth Castle, which was  

one of the most formidable of the Border  

strongholds during the war between the  

Scots and English.  

For almost six hundred years the castle  

belonged to the powerful Percy family,  

Earls of Northumberland who received it  

from Edward 111 in 1332. Several scenes  

from Shakespeare’s “King Henry IV” are  

laid in Warkworth Castle, which Shake-  

speare described as “this worm-eaten hall  

of ragged stone.”  

The whole history of the English castle  

is contained in the Keep of Warkworth  

from its early beginnings as Norman  

stronghold to its end as fortified house  

of the late Middle Ages. It covers an  

area of five acres, and, although portions  

of the earlier fortress are incorporated in  

the castle, most of the present fabric  

dates from the thirteenth century.  

The dungeon is situated on the ground  

floor of the Keep, from which staircase  

leads to the largest room, known as the  

“Great Chamber.” Here, also, are the  

chapel and the lofty banqueting hall  

which is forty-one feet long. Adjoining  

rooms served as kitchen and pantry.  

slender turret rises high above the Keep,  

and is landmark for many miles  

around. Other notable features are the  

massive gatehouse and the Lion Tower.  

In the days of its greatest grandeur  

Warkworth was the favourite residence  

of the Percy family, whose immense  

possessions also included Alnwick Castle  

in the same county. The third Percy  

became the first Earl of Northumberland  

who is mentioned in Shakespeare’s  

“Richard II” and with his son Hotspur  

in “Henry IV,” in whose reign the Percys  

were rewarded with the greater part of  

South Scotland.  

In 1672 much of the timber and lead  

from the roof of Warkworth Castle  

were removed and sold. In 1922, how-  

ever, the castle was presented to the nation  

by the Duke of Northumberland, and  

it is now preserved as an ancient monu-  

ment.
