Strickland's Tower, Rose Castle
For a wider view of the location, see NY3746 : Rose Castle, Raughton Head .
The castle was the residence of successive Bishops of Carlisle from 1230 until 2009, when it became too expensive to maintain. In 2016 the Church Commissioners sold the estate to the Rose Castle Foundation Link
(Archive Link ) , a charity working towards international reconciliation.
This tower is the oldest part of the castle. Although named after Bishop Strickland (in office 1400-1419), it dates from the early 14th century. It is a pele tower, built to withstand attacks by the Scots.
