The earliest record of Warkworth was in the eighth century but there was no castle until the twelfth century. The first building was probably a wooden construction. It was built by Henry the son of King David I of Scotland who owned the land at that time. Henry had the title "Earl Henry of Northumberland" at a time when the North of England was part of Scotland.
King Edward I spent a night in the castle in 1292.
When the Anglo-Scottish wars began in 1296 the castle had to be manned by troops. Records show that in 1319 a garrison of twenty-four soldiers and staff held the castle. Half of the cost was paid by the King who later became owner of the castle.
The Castle was home of Harry Hotspur - his death at the Battle of Shrewsbury.
In 1158 Henry II gave the Castle to Roger FitzRichard who most likely began to rebuild it with stone. His son Robert continued to improve and add to the buildings.
Edward III granted Warkworth and its Castle to Henry de Percy II in 1332. The castle passed back and forth between the Percy family and the Royal family for centuries. The cost of maintaining the castle is enormous so the Duke of Northumberland passed it to the nation and it came into the custody of the Office of Works in 1922 who then later passed it to the English Heritage.

A step back looking into my studio space and the window beyond. Chaotic but orderly by function. Lovely natural light fills the space.
My wife watching the beautiful country side roll by; somewhere between Denali and Anchorage.

Closer view of Shiprock and it’s dikes radiating out from the center. Shiprock, a monadnock rising 1,583 feet above the high-desert plain of the Navajo Nation in San Juan County, New Mexico. This rock formation is the erosional remnant of the throat of a volcano that stood above here over 27 million years ago. Shiprock and the surrounding land have religious and historical significance to the Navajo people.
