BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Norham Castle is a castle in Northumberland, England, overlooking the River Tweed, on the border between England and Scotland. It is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The castle saw much action during the wars between England and Scotland. The castle was founded when Ranulf Flambard, Bishop of Durham from 1099 to 1128, gave orders for its construction in 1121, in order to protect the property of the bishopric in north Northumberland, from incursions by the Scots. An extended state of peace between England and Scotland existed between the two countries, the garrison was reduced and the defences were allowed to deteriorate. By the end of the 16th century the castle had already fallen into a state of disrepair. In the nineteenth century, Norham Castle became well known far and wide from the paintings of J. M. W. Turner.
