Castle Wall, behind 3, North Bailey, Durham and Framwellgate, City of Durham - County Durham (UA)

C12 castle wall with base of angle tower. Consists of coursed squared sandstone. Suffering from progressive collapse of wall face and the core requires urgent attention to avoid further substantial failure. A Historic England grant towards project development was completed in 2019 and a detailed scheme for repair has been prepared. Funding for repairs currently being sought.
