Note: Naworth Castle in Brampton, Cumberland, was the country home of George and Rosalind Howard. The castle originally dated from the 14th century, and from 1873-79 the Howards employed Webb to make alterations and enlargements that remained in keeping with the historic character of the building. From 1877 Webb was also the official architect to the Naworth Estate.
