About Hylton Castle
Hylton Castle, located in the North Hylton area of Sunderland, is a historic stone fortress originally constructed by the Hilton family after the Norman Conquest in 1066. Rebuilt in stone during the late 14th to early 15th century, the castle underwent significant renovations in the 18th century and served as the Hylton family's principal residence until 1746. After years of neglect, it saw revitalization in the early 19th century and has since transitioned through various uses, including a school, before becoming state-owned in 1950. This rich history makes Hylton Castle a notable site for planning applications related to heritage and conservation in the region.
