Early Origins of the Davile family

The surname Davile was first found in Northumberland in the township of North Dissington in Northumberland.

"At Low Horton [in Northumberland] stood the ancient manor-house, or castle, belonging to the Delaval family, which was strongly fortified by licence in 1293, and surrounded by a double moat and rampart of earth; the greater part of the foundation was razed, and the intrenchment levelled, in 1809." 1
