Hylton Castle
Hylton Castle is a four-storey, stone gatehouse-style fortified manor on the north bank of the River Wear in Sunderland, England. Rebuilt in stone in the late 14th to early 15th century, the surviving gatehouse and chapel form the main medieval fabric preserved today under the care of English Heritage.

As it stood in 1435
The shape it held in its prime.
A tall, rectangular four-storey gatehouse built of weathered coursed sandstone, its west façade punctuated by a central arched entrance and rows of mullioned and pointed-arched windows. The composition is flanked by four cylindrical towers rising above a crenellated parapet; carved heraldic panels cluster above the main doorway. The castle sits isolated in parkland behind a lawn with trees, its roofline defined by battlements and corbelled machicolation-like projections at the parapet.
