Castle Keep The castle stands on a steep hill over looking the river Tyne. This castle has been occupied for over 2000 years. From the mid 2nd century until the beginning of the 5th century a Roman fort –stood here, guarding the river crossing below. The Roman bridge was probably where the Swing Bridge now stands. The castle was built in stone during the reign of Henry II, between 1168 and 1178, at a cost of £1,144. This gave the castle the keep and the curtain wall, with a gatehouse (Bailey Gate) near the south-west corner of the keep. Other northern castles rebuilt at this time were Norham, Bambrugh and Prudhoe.
Ingredients • Carrots • Potatoes • Celery • Barley • Ham Shank • Salt and pepper • Vegetable stock
Method 1. We prepared the ingredients by peeling and chopping the onions, carrots, and potatoes. Then chopping the celery and ham shank into chunks. 2. Next we added the vegetable stock, all the vegetables, the ham, the barley and a pinch of salt and pepper. 3. We cooked this on a medium heat for around an hour. We then removed it from the heat and allowed it to cool. 4. The next day it was the Northumbrian evening so we reheated it for about 15 minutes before we served it.
