in Cumberland, 10 miles from Carlisle, near the Celt. This castle is still entire and inhabited. It is a large pile, square, and built round a court. On the north it stands over the river Ithing, at a great height, the banks flagged with wood. The whole house is a very irregular building; Naworth the rooms numerous, accessible by 16 staircases, with most frequent and sudden ascents and descents, &c.—The great hall has a gallery at one end, adorned with four vast crests carved in wood, viz. a griffin and dolphin, with the scollop; an unicorn, and an ox with a coronet round his neck. In front is a figure in wood of an armed man; two others, perhaps vallads, in short jackets and caps. The top and upper end of the room is painted in squares, representing the Saxon kings and heroes. This castle was built by one of the Dacres about the reign of Henry III. In the garden walls were stones with Roman inscriptions, which the late earl of Carlisle gave to Sir Thomas Roblinson, and were by him removed to his museum at Rooksbury: On one of these stones is this inscription, pediment centum quinquaginaria Britannorum; whence it appears that the Romans, when in possession of Britain, sometimes indulged the national troops with the favour of garrisoning their own territories.
