Back to Warkworth Castle

WARKWORTH CASTLE. AKA and see “Hey to Couper," "Hey to Cowper.” English, Scottish; Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Warkworth Castle [1], Warkworth, Northumberland, dates to the mid-12th century.

Warkworth Castle, c. 1786.

The cross-shaped keep (dating from the 14th century) is situated on a hilltop that rises steeply above the River Coquet, and though the castle is in disrepair, it is still a magnificent ediface. The most famous inhabitants of the castle were the Percy family, whose lion badge can be seen carved on many parts of their stronghold.
