In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Ogle like this:
OGLE, a township in Whalton parish, Northumberland; 6½ miles S W of Morpeth. Acres, 2, 117. Pop., 117. Houses, 21. Ogle Castle here was long the seat of the ancient family of Ogle; was built, or restored and strengthened, in 1340, by Robert de Ogle; was a long quadrangular pile, with towers at the four corners, and surrounded by a double moat; was the place to which Copeland took the captive King David of Scotland, after the battle of Neville's Cross; and is now represented chiefly by fragments incorporated with a picturesque manor-house of the time of Charles I., and by remains of the moat.
