Warkworth Castle Summer ceramic tile with easel is by North East artist Emily Ward. The ceramic tile has been created from an original painting by Emily and is hand pressed locally in her art studio.
The castle ruins, depicted in shades of soft grey, purple and brown, stand on a gentle hill. The castle has a weathered and timeworn appearance, with large open windows and crumbling walls adding a sense of history and mystery to Emily’s art ceramic tile.
The sky is a warming bright mix of teals and blues that reflect over the historic ruins. Pretty wildflowers cover the grassy hill in front of the castle adding a burst of colour to this painting.

Warkworth Castle
Warkworth Castle
is an impressive ruined castle in the rugged and scenic county of Northumberland. The castle stands on the top of the hillside overlooking the River Croquet and the village of Warkworth.
The castle is said to have been built around 1200 and was the main home of the Percy family during the 14th to 17th centuries.
The castle was built around a motte, an artificial mound, and a bailey, a fortified enclosure. The castle’s great tower was added in the late 14th century. The castle was abandoned and stripped of reusable materials in the 17th century.
In 1915 the castle was declared a scheduled ancient monument and is managed by English Heritage.
