Description: South frontage of Belsay Castle Originally built as a medieval fortified tower house and for centuries the home of the Middleton family, Belsay Castle (right of photo) was expanded in the early seventeenth century with the addition of a fine Jacobean house (centre and left of photo). The house was subsequently expanded further but the family abandoned it around 1817 when Sir Charles Monck moved the family into a new home, the neo-classical Belsay Hall, a few hundred metres to the east.
