There are two Warks in Northumberland (in addition to Warkworth), bothhad castles. Heaton Castle was a few miles north east of Wark on Tweed,and a little SE of Twisel. In 1415 it belonged to Sir Thomas Gray (onetower was a large carving of a lion rampant, the emblem of the Hetons andthe Greys). The site is now a farmstead. Heton/Heaton is said to beghosted. Close by is the ruins of Etal Castle.
As for the Castle of Wark upon Tweed, I beleive I have preveiously posteddetails and should be in the archives. Cornhill (which, in 1541 had atower) is between Heton and this Wark. The other Wark is on the Tyne.
