Coupland Castle

Description
Information from the owners, with photos. "The Tower of Grade 1 Listed Coupland Castle was the last fortified building to be built on the Border. In earlier centuries it is recorded that there was a wooden blockhouse at Coupland for the inhabitant to take refuge in if the Scots came raiding. Long before the Tower was built the Coupland lands belonged to Sir John de Coupland who captured David the Scottish King at the Battle of Neville’s Cross in 1346. The present building now shows three if not four very distinct stages of construction. The earliest part is the main tower four stories in height probably built in the late 1580’s...." -
