The Radcliffes, a family that originated in Lancashire, succeeded to the manor of Dilston in Northumberland in the early sixteenth century, when Edward Radcliffe of Derwentwater in Cumberland married a Dilston heiress, Anne Cartington.
For centuries Dilston has been a source of fascination and inspiration for those who visit.
