Chipchase Castle is a 17th-century Jacobean mansion incorporating a substantial 14th-century pele tower which stands north of Hadrian's Wall, near Wark on Tyne, between Bellingham and Hexham in Northumberland, England. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade I listed building. The Heron family acquired the Manor of Chipchase by the marriage of Walter Heron to the Chipchase heiress. He built a massive four storey battlemented tower house on the site of an earlier house in the mid-1300s. A survey in 1541 described a "fare tower" with a "manor of stone joined thereto" owned by John Heron.
