DACRE CASTLE Dacre, Cumbria CA11 0HL Grade 1 listed property - English Heritage Building ID: 73750 Fortified tower house. C14 with C17 and C19 alterations. This 20 metre tall moated pele tower has 2 metre thick walls. The 5th Lord Dacre had the castle converted into a more comfortable family home during the 1670’s, as law and order was gradually introduced to this previously troubled border region. Renovated again in the 1960’s, the castle is now a comfortable private residence The stone building replaced (about 1339-1354) a wooden tower at Dunmallet (or Dunmallogt) which had been built about 1307. Also Scheduled Ancient Monument "Moated Site of Dacre Castle"- List entry Number: 1011680 The moated site at Dacre Castle survives reasonably well, its earthworks in particular remaining well preserved. The monument includes the outer banks, moat and moated island upon which Dacre Castle stands. (Dacre Castle, its cellars, a garage, a telegraph pole, all field and garden walls, fences and gateposts and the surfaces of all paths are excluded from the Ancient Monument scheduling but the ground beneath all these features is included.)
