Lambton Castle, 1844 - A Glimpse into the Rich History of County Durham
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Lambton Castle, the ancestral seat of the Lambton family, in all its grandeur. Built between 1820 and 1828 by John Lambton, the first Earl of Durham and former Governor General of Canada, this magnificent structure stands proudly on the north bank of the river Wear near Chester-le-Street. Designed by architects Joseph Bonomi the Elder and his son Ignatius in a Norman castle style, Lambton Castle is a testament to architectural brilliance. It was constructed around Harraton Hall, a mansion dating back to the 17th century that once belonged to prominent families such as D'Arcys and Hedworths. The engraving captures not only the exterior beauty of this fortification but also provides us with a glimpse into an era long gone. The image allows us to appreciate both its geographical significance within County Durham's landscape and its historical importance as home to generations of influential figures. As we admire this remarkable piece from "Illustrated London News" dated back to 1844, it serves as a reminder that some treasures are timeless. This print transports us back in time while preserving an essential part of British heritage for future generations to cherish.
