Ravensworth Castle is a ruinous Grade II* listed building and a scheduled monument situated at Lamesley, Tyne and Wear, England.

[2][3] Liddell and his family would hold onto the estate for the following 300 years, much of their fortune would come from coal mining on the land, beginning in the early 17th century.

[1] Georgiana, Lady Bloomfield, daughter of Sir Thomas Liddell wrote about visiting the castle in 1831, while still in her childhood.

[4] Around 1935, the family began mining for coal directly under the house, with demolition of the building starting around the same time.

The intention was to use the wreckage to build a model village, but with the interruption of World War II, only three houses were created.
