Chipchase Castle

Chipchase Castle is a 17th-century Jacobean mansion incorporating a substantial 14th-century pele tower, which stands north of Hadrian's Wall, near Wark on Tyne, between Bellingham and Hexham in Northumberland, England.

[2][3] A survey in 1541 described a "fare tower" with a "manor of stone joined thereto" owned by John Heron.

[6] Reed carried out major alterations to the castle, including a classical façade to the old tower.

[7] The failure of Reed's family bank caused his descendants to sell the estate to the Greys of Backworth in 1821 to defray debts.

It is associated with Paul Torday, the author of the novel Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, which was made into a popular film.
