I was here 65 years ago. Schoolfriend spent 4 weeks with group of French boys to improve each others language knowledge. I swam in the Tyne and we saw the Edinburgh tattoo. Near the castle are the ground remains of a German POW Camp. U-boat Otto Kreschmer was there for a time. I was 12. The trains still ran through F/stone Station.

I was told that I was a 11th DESCENDANT of this "FEATHERSTONE CASTLE". MY DAD"S first cousin researched and published a BOOK of 700 YEARS of the PERKINSON FAMILY HISTORY. THE NAME OF THE BOOK IS "GOOD MORNING...MR. FEATHERSTONE?" by EULA T. PERKINSON , Copyright 1983. Very interesting and informative Book and job well done!!!
