Middle Ages

After the Norman Conquest in 1066, Humphrey de Hoggell was granted rights over the manor of Ogle. Northumberland was then a border county and in 1341, Sir Robert Ogle was allowed a licence to crenellate or fortify the manor; in 1346, David II of Scotland was held prisoner here after his capture at the Battle of Neville's Cross.

17th century

Parliament sold Ogle Castle in 1653 to James Moseley, who repaired some of the damage done during the civil wars but the original house was extensively rebuilt after it was returned to William in 1660. The modern building largely dates from that period, retaining only the mediaeval tower house and its projecting latrine, as well as showing parts of a double moat on the western and northern sides.

19th century

In the early 19th century, an East Indiaman named was wrecked on the Goodwin Sands on 3 November 1825, with the loss of over 100 crew members and passengers.
