The manor of Bywell and Bywell Castle were owned by the Neville family in the 14th century but following the attainder of Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland for his part in the Rising of the North the Neville estates were forfeited and Bywell was sold in 1571 by the Crown to the Fenwick family"The History Topography and Directory of Northumberland" (1855) William Whelan & Co pp767-8 Google Books] .

William Fenwick (son of John Fenwick High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1727) built the new house at Bywell to designs by architect James Paine in 1760 [ [http://www.durham.gov.uk/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=N12787 Keys to the Past] ]

The estate was sold to Thomas W Beaumont for £145000 early in the 19th century and the house was improved by the Beaumonts, with the assistance of architect John Dobson, in 1827 and further altered later in the 19th century

The house is the home of Wentworth Beaumont, 4th Viscount Allendale and the estate is operated commercially by Allendale Estates [ [http://www.allendale-estates.co.uk/index.php Allendale Estates website] ]
