Lumley Castle is a 14th century castle at Chester-le-Street near Durham. It is named after its original creator, Sir Ralph Lumley who converted his family manor house into a castle in the late 14th century. In the 19th century it was the residence of the Bishop of Durham before being given to the newly founded University of Durham. It was part of University College, Durham until it was sold in the 1960s and is now a hotel.
