Norham Castle was built by Bishop Flambard, in 1121, for the protection of the seeof Durham against the inroads of the Scots. It is situated on the top of a high steeprock, impending over the Tweed. Bishop Tunstal found it necessary to repair theedifice; and Pudsey, a subsequent prelate, built the great tower, which still exists, and isseventy feet in height. Near to the river, the ruins hang upon the verge of the precipice,and part of them have been washed away by the encroachments of the stream. Thematerials of which the building is composed is a soft red freestone. In early times, this fortress was, when sufficiently garrisoned, almost impregnable.It was taken, and partly destroyed, by David I., of Scotland, in 1138; but was afterwardsrestored to its former strength by Bishop Pudsey. King John besieged the Castle, inconsequence of the Northumbrian barons having yielded homage to Alexander II.; soobstinate, ho Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work. -
