Ogle Castle

Ogle Castle is a former fortified manor house at Ogle, near Whalton in Northumberland. The present building largely dates from post-1660 rebuilding but retains a medieval tower house and the projecting latrine, and traces of a double moat remain around the site.

As it stood in 1660

The shape it held in its prime.

Long two-storey stone manor with a steep gabled end to the left and an extended rectangular range to the right, built of pale grey-buff dressed and rubble masonry with a stone-slate roof and tall rectangular chimneys. Regular mullioned windows puncture the façade; ivy climbs parts of the walls. A medieval tower-house massing survives as a compact, taller block with a corbelled projecting garderobe. Foreground formal lawn, gravel path and clipped yew topiary approach the south front.
