QuoteIt was once used to imprison Robert the Bruce's son before he was sent to the Tower of London.  And now Ogle Castle in Northumberland, one of the oldest inhabited buildings in England, is up for sale for just £1.5million.

King David II of Scotland was locked up in the castle's Pele Tower after his defeat at Neville's Cross, in County Durham, in 1346.

The nine-bedroom Grade I listed building near Ponteland was once the ancestral home of the Ogles, one of the most famous border river families of the Middle Ages.

William the Conqueror granted a deed to Humphrey de Hoggell (Ogle) to enjoy all the liberties and royalties of his manor after the conquest.

You're welcome, Limabeany.  If I were ever to be imprisoned, this is where I'd like to be confined! :happy:
