In 1136 it was seized by the Scots as was Appleby Castle nearby. Both were held by the Scots until 1157 when they were retaken by the English and given by the Crown to Hugh de Morville, though repossessed in 1173. The Scots almost destroyed the Castle in 1174 but between 1179 and 1190 Theobold de Valoines carried out much needed restoration work to improve its withered defences.Thereafter, the Castle stayed in Crown control until 1203 when King John gave it to Robert de Vipont.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Castle passed into the Clifford family&#8217;s hands through marriage in 1269 and was occupied by members of the family until 1521 when it was extensively damaged by fire. Lady Anne Clifford set about the restoration of the castle in 1660-61. On her death in 1679 it passed to her grandson Thomas Tufton who took stone from its walls, to be used on the improvements being made to Appleby Castle. In 1763 Brough Castle was partly demolished.<\/p>\n<p>There is still enough to see to make it worthwhile taking a close look, and the Castle makes a striking sight when seen from the A66 road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>situated in Scotland, Cumbria lake Brough Castle is built on the site of a Roman Fort (Verterae, the outlines of which are still just visible), to the south of the town of Brough, and approached through the village of Church Brough, the Castle is undergoing some consolidation work under the care of English Heritage.
