Haggerston, Northumberland history
Haggerston was first mentioned in sources in 1311, when Edward II visited the castle, and again in 1345, when the castle was described as a ‘strong tower’ The inhabitants of the castle are believed to have been part of the invading force of William the Conqueror, who invaded as far north as Berwick-upon-Tweed. Haggerstons married into many great families, such as the Cheswick family, gaining large amounts of land. The castle became a minor estate, connected to the Maxwell and Constable families.
C.J. Naylor
By the 1880s, the castle and estates were part of the Leyland Entailed Estates, built up by Liverpool banker Thomas Naylor. On his death in 1891, it was inherited by his nephew Christopher John Naylor (1849–1926), who gave up his family home Leighton Hall, Powys to his brother, and moved to Haggerston, changing his name to C.J. Leyland. By 1893 he had rebuilt the main house and laid out a 1.4 acres (0.6 ha) Italian garden. Unfortunately the castle is supposedly according to local legend subject to a witch’s curse.
Today
Only the tower and the rotunda (both Grade II listed buildings) remain of the house C.J. Naylor built on the castle site in 1893. Seven semi-detached cottages, the “Roadside Cottages”, still remain, and are privately owned. Haven Holidays now owns these buildings and operates a holiday park on surrounding 256 acres of land.
