Dilston Castle is an unglazed 15th-century uninhabited tower house (and inactive Catholic chapel built for one family's services) at Dilston in the parish of Corbridge,[1] Northumberland, England. Both are scheduled monuments and Grade I listed buildings giving them recognition for historic and architectural value as well protection from demolition.
The three-storey tower was built by Sir William Claxton on the site of an earlier pele tower in the 15th century.
