3 unusual facts about Featherstone Castle


Featherstone Castle

When in 1961 the school moved to their premises at Ridley Hall, Northumberland, Fetherstone Castle was converted to a residential conference and activity centre for young people and students.

The family remained in occupation until Sir Matthew Fetherstonhaugh sold the property to James Wallace about 1789.

The earliest recorded history of this area derives from the Roman occupation period; in 122 AD, the Romans erected Hadrian's Wall, the course of which lies about 5 kilometres to the north of Featherstone Castle.
