It was partially demolished in the late 17th century after a fire and extensively altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. It has had many owners and has belonged to the Lambton family since 1963. It has been operating as a country park and caravan site for some years. The castle is used for the leisure complex administration and club buildings.
