Author(s): Vanessa Castagnino
During an investigation of Barmoor Castle, Lowick, Northumbria (NT 99736 39879), the construction date for the tower need to be established for an English Heritage ‘Building at Risk’ grant and repair programme. The tower was either constructed in 1801 with the main house or with the extension to the building in 1892. The possibility of original window glass, situated behind a boarded window in the tower, was considered and the glass was submitted for chemical analysis in the hope that a fixed date for the construction could be ascertained. At these two dates manufacture window glass are different both optically and chemically.
