Lambton Castle
Lambton Castle is a 19th-century country house in County Durham, built in a Norman-revival style as the ancestral seat of the Lambton family. The present building was constructed mainly 1820–1828 around the earlier 17th‑century Harraton Hall, with later additions by Sydney Smirke in 1862–65; parts of those later additions were removed in 1932. The house sits within enclosed parkland bounded by a high estate wall above the town of Chester-le-Street.

As it stood in 1865
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched above Chester-le-Street, the house presents a Norman-revival silhouette built around a 17th‑century core: an ensemble of stone façades in a castellated idiom with a crenellated roofline and formal masonry elevations. By 1865 the Smirke additions including a great hall completed the composition. The mansion sits within an enclosed park bounded by a high stone wall and approached along an estate drive that climbs up from the town below.
