| Information | |
Walwick Grange is a privately owned 18th-century country house (now a farmhouse) on the bank of the River North Tyne close to Hadrian's Wall at Warden in Northumberland. It is a Grade II* listed building.
Walwick was the seat of the Errington family from the mid 16th century. The three storey five bayed house was built, probably on the site of a mediæval tower house in the early 18th century.
William Errington of Walwick Grange was High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1739. His son John built a new house at Chesters in the 1770s.
There are mediæval fishponds nearby, which are Scheduled Ancient Monuments.
