HAUGHTON CASTLE, UK. It was built originally in the 13th century as a tower house and enlarged and fortified in the 14th century. By the 16th century the castle fell into disrepair and ruin and it was attacked by Border reivers. A survey of 1541 reported the roof and floors to be decayed and gone. The property was acquired by the Smith family in about 1640, but in 1715 a further survey stated the building to be ruinous.-Significant alterations were carried out for the Smiths between 1816 and 1845, latterly by architect John Dobson to convert the ruin into a substantial mansion. The Crawshaw family came into possession in 1862 and a west wing was added for them by Anthony Salvin in 1876. Part of the castle served as a hospital during the second world war. It is now an oblong tower house and one of the best preserved hall houses in the north of England.
