There are two Warks in Northumberland (in addition to Warkworth), both had castles. Heaton Castle was a few miles north east of Wark on Tweed, and a little SE of Twisel. In 1415 it belonged to Sir Thomas Gray (one tower was a large carving of a lion rampant, the emblem of the Hetons and the Greys). The site is now a farmstead. Heton/Heaton is said to be ghosted. Close by is the ruins of Etal Castle.

As for the Castle of Wark upon Tweed, I beleive I have preveiously posted details and should be in the archives. Cornhill (which, in 1541 had a tower) is between Heton and this Wark. The other Wark is on the Tyne.

Said to be daughter of John de Mowbray and Elizabeth de Segrave. 4 sons & 1 daughter

There are at least two sources which identity Thomas Gray's wife, Joan, as the daughter of John de Mowbray. The first source is the Visitation of the North taken c. 1480-1500 in which Joan is called "Ionetta filia Johannes Moubray." [Reference: Surtees Soc., 144 (1930): 53-54]. The visitation is one of the earliest visitations on record and one of the best in my opinion.

The second source is the monumental inscription of Joan (Mowbray) Gray's son, Henry Gray, which reads as follows:
"Here lyeth Syr Henry Grey, the sonne of Syre Thomas Grey, and Jone, hys wyf, that was systere to the Duke of Norfolk, that dyed at Venis." [Reference: Scott, Memorials of the Family of Scott (1876), p. 126
footnote p].

The Duke of Norfolk who died in Venice was Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, who died there of pestilence in 1399. He was the son of John de Mowbray, 4th Lord Mowbray, and his wife, Elizabeth de Segrave.

I trust that answers your question.
