About a year or so ago, I asked about Dilston Hall and/or Dilston Castle. A gentlemen sent me some information on Dilston including the names of some books and also a floor plan of Dilston. I printed the information and now I can't find it. Can anyone help? Thank you, Nancy |

Dilston Castle is in Northumberland. A stone castle may have existed there from 1317. There is also a hall nearby which is used as a Training Unit. There are good remains. There is good information & plans in Mike Salters 'The Castles and Tower Houses of Northumberland'. Please contact me for more information if you wish. |
