As an aside medieval castles are rarely named after the family that owned or built them. ------------------JDraughn I am looking for any information on the Draughton Castle located in England, Northhamptonshire, Leicestershire area. I am tracing my family tree and have stumbled across the information that there is a Draughton Castle, but I cannot find any information on it. Any information would be greatly appreciated. So far I have been able to track back 10 generations from myself. Thank you. Philip Davis I can't find a Draughton castle in my database. This may be because of one of the following reasons.
1. My database is incomplete.
2. it's not a medieval castle and therefore not on my database. I only list medieval castles, many later grand houses, with no real fortifications but with gothick crennellations are called castle.
3. It's medieval moated farmhouse later called a castle but not considered such by the authors from which my database is compiled.
4. There is no such place.
My guess is that Draughton Castle is a fairly large house built around 1800 in the then fashionable Gothick style.
And as I rode by Dalton-Hall Beneath the turrets high, A maiden on the castle-wall Was singing merrily: The Outlaw by Sir Walter Scott
