Ogle Family - Ogle of Choppington and Burradon

Ogle of Choppington and Burradon

Another nephew of Robert, 1st Baron Ogle, was Gawen Ogle who, in 1500, built a tower house at Choppington, then in Bedlingtonshire (now North Tyneside) of which no present trace remains. His grandson Oliver (d 1616) acquired the manor of Burradon near Longbenton including a tower house, in two tranches in 1569 and 1596. His son Lancelot (1582–1640) improved the accommodation at Burradon Tower in 1633.

Lancelot's only daughter Jane married a cousin, James Ogle of Causey Park and the Burradon house was abandoned. By 1769 it was reported to be ruinous. The estate was later inherited by Jane’s grandson, William Wallis, who changed his name to William Wallis Ogle, and was eventually sold outside the family in 1857
