Cragside is a Victorian Tudor Revival country house near the town of Rothbury in Northumberland, England. It was the home of William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong , founder of the Armstrong Whitworth armaments firm.
His new house was called Cragside, and over the years Armstrong added to the Cragside estate. Eventually the estate was 1,729 acres (7.00 km 2) and had seven million trees planted, together with five artificial lakes and 31 miles (50 km) of carriage drives.
Expanding his landholdings around Cragside, Lord Armstrong acquired Cragend, a nearby 16th-century farmhouse [7] two miles south of Rothbury. [8] He started work on modernising the farm in the 1880s, [ 8 ] and around 1895 built the experimental hydraulic silo building now known as Cragend Silo.
The title became extinct on his death in 1900. The title was revived three years later, on 4 August 1903, for his great-nephew William Watson-Armstrong, who was created Baron Armstrong, of Bamburgh and of Cragside in the County of Northumberland. Born William Watson, he had assumed the additional surname of Armstrong by Royal licence in 1889.
