History+

The origins of Barnard Castle lie between 1095 and 1125, when Guy de Balliol began its construction. His nephew Bernard de Balliol and his son Bernard II continued to expand the building between 1125 and 1185. In 1216, the castle endured a siege by Alexander II, King of Scotland. Later, in 1296, the castle passed into the possession of the Bishop of Durham. In the 15th century, it came into the Neville family through marriage.
