What is recorded here

Tower house in Chillingham Park still stands as a medieval defensive structure in Northumberland, built to watch the border and protect the estate. It may have housed a local family, a border reaver or a keeper of Chillingham’s land, and its rooms may have echoed with arguments, feasts or fear during raids. The tower remains a scheduled monument, preserving the shape of that world inside Chillingham Park.

The National Heritage List for England records Tower house in Chillingham Park, 270m north east of Hepburn Cottage 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.
