castleuk Hi ipflo
Lambton Castle was built on the site of Harraton Hall, a Robert de Lambton of Lambton Castle died in 1350 and John Lambton of Lambton Castle died in 1794
The original castle was demolished in the 18th century to be replaced by Lambton Hall, which was enlarged and castellated in 1833. It was damaged in 1854 and altered in 1875.
