Description
'The Northumberland County History states that on Saturday 20th December 1292 King Edward I of England, the legendary Longshanks, stayed at Horton, which is now in the parish of Blyth, for one night. He was returning South from adjudicating the claim to the Scottish throne....The footprint of the castle, from mapping and aerial photos, was comparable to Etal castle in the very north of the county, although slightly smaller. The castle could have fitted into Warkworth castle about four to five times...."
