Description: | View of Lilburn Tower, still standing at Dunstanburgh Castle in Northumberland. A number of towers were built into the curtain wall in the early 14th century, including Lilburn Tower and the Egyncleugh Tower. The castle was built by Earl Thomas of Lancaster in the 14th century on the site of former Roman and Iron Age settlements, and was altered by John of Gaunt in 1380-4. It later became a Lancastrian stronghold during the War of the Roses. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
