Lea Castle was built by Edward Knight in 1762. [1] John Brown bought the house in 1823. [2] By 1848 it was owned by the Brown-Westhead family. [2]
The house was auctioned in 1933 but by 1939 it was dilapidated. Lea Castle was demolished in 1945. It was designated as a Scheduled Monument on June 15, 2003. [3] Today, only the north lodges and gateway survive, dating to the 19th and 20th centuries. [4]
