Dilston Castle is a late medieval fortified house situated near Corbridge in Northumberland. Built in the 15th century, it comprises a substantial stone tower house with adjoining ranges, representing the domestic and defensive architecture of the northern English gentry during the later Middle Ages. The castle is historically significant as the seat of the Radcliffe family, though it suffered damage and decline following the Jacobite Rising of 1715 when its owner was attainted for treason. The surviving structures, which include the impressive tower and associated stone buildings, demonstrate the architectural character typical of Northumbrian fortified residences of its period.
