What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Simonburn Castle tower house as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Simonburn Castle tower house was built by the powerful Percy family in the late 13th or early 14th century. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval tower house and as a historical site associated with the regional influence of the Percys in Northumberland.
