Description
The gatehouse east of Naworth Castle dates from around 1520 and was built for Thomas Lord Dacre. It was later modified for Lord William Howard around 1602 and likely restored by Salvin in 1845. The structure features earlier dressed calciferous sandstone on the ground floor and red sandstone above, topped with a battlemented parapet. It has two storeys and two bays. The round arched entrance is adorned with a large carved stone panel displaying the Dacre arms, flanked by small leaded casements with chamfered surrounds. Similar windows are found at the rear. This gatehouse was constructed as part of the early 16th-century outer bailey of the castle, situated between the moat and the east range, replacing an earlier gate in Lord William Howard's Tower. For details of the arms, refer to the Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, old series, volume iv, pages 496-497.
