Even standing amidst thousand year-old ruins it is easy to bring to mind the sounds and smells of battles long gone, to almost hear the clatter of hooves on the cobbles and to smell the fear rising from the dungeon pits. But is our imagination based on reality? Why were castles built in the first place? How were they designed and built? Who lived in them?

Scotland is scattered with brochs, stone towers built for defence, raised at least 1,000 years before the first medieval castles. Historians do not consider these structures to be castles - in this book the definition we use of a castle is that it was both the home of its owner, and a fortification designed to protect the owner's lands and holdings. </p><p>Where did the need for large, permanent, fortified homes come from? The answer to that lies in the <a href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/English_Castle_Glossary#Feudal_system" title="Castles of England/English Castle Glossary"><b>feudal system</b></a>. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Feudal_System">The Feudal System</h3></div> <p>It was the development of the feudal system that led directly to the development of what we recognise today as a castle. Before about the 9<sup>th</sup> century, "kingdoms" were generally small and could be easily governed by one ruler. It was Charlemagne, the king of the Franks, who changed this. His empire, which stretched across much of central Europe in the 8<sup>th</sup> - 9<sup>th</sup> century BC, was too large for him to rule effectively. So he began the practice of breaking it down into small administrative units, each governed by a lord or nobleman. In return for being allocated land, each lord was required to provide soldiers to Charlemagne in time of war. </p><p>Charlemagne's successor, Louis the Pious, king of Aquitaine, had three heirs (Lothair, Pepin and Louis the German) who split the empire between them. These new kings were faced with the threat of war with each other, enemies outside the old empire and from unrest within their own territories. At around the same time the Franks invented the stirrup, allowing armoured men to fight effectively from horseback. This lead to the changes in social order we would recognise as typical of the medieval period with knights on horseback serving a lord. </p><p>The feudal system developed to support this military hierarchy, creating a social hierarchy with the king at the top, then the nobles, then the knights and finally the serfs or peasants. The king owned all the land, but "lent" it to those below him, who lent it to those below them in the system. In return a portion of the products of the land were paid to those higher in the system. The system was in effect providing an income to the warriors and nobles higher in the hierarchy to pay them for protecting those lower in the hierarchy. </p><p>The advantages of this system to the king are clear. Not only would he have forces available when required, and a constant income without having to administer all of the lands himself, he had also ensured no noble could individually afford a large enough army to threaten his rule. He has also ensured that every area of his lands would be constantly defended in the event of invasion. </p><p>To make this system work, each noble needed a home within their lands. As these were dangerous times, and the noble could not afford to have a large standing army, this home needed to have strong defences that could be manned by a relatively small number of soldiers. And, thus, the castle was born. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Origins_of_Castles">Origins of Castles</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Leeds_Castle,_Maidstone.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/Leeds_Castle%2C_Maidstone.jpg/220px-Leeds_Castle%2C_Maidstone.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/Leeds_Castle%2C_Maidstone.jpg/330px-Leeds_Castle%2C_Maidstone.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/Leeds_Castle%2C_Maidstone.jpg/440px-Leeds_Castle%2C_Maidstone.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>Leeds Castle, originally of Norman design it was modified extensively throughout its life</figcaption></figure> <p>The word <i>Castle</i> itself entered the English language in the 11<sup>th</sup> century AD, being adapted from the Norman word <i>castel</i>, broadly meaning "fort". The word had earlier entered Old English in a different form as <i>ceaster</i>, and can be found in the name of many English town as the suffices "caster" and "chester". </p><p>The exact date when the first castles were built is unknown. However, it is likely that the first buildings with the main features associated with castles were built between 850 and 900 AD. </p><p>The earliest castles were constructed by local nobles to defend their home or hall and its associated buildings. The construction would have taken the form of a ditch dug around the hall, with the earth banked up inside the ditch to form a steep slope. At some point, fences or a palisade of sharpened timber may have been built on top of the bank. Further developments might have included a lookout tower and a separate fence to protect the hall independently from the other, less important, buildings. In this way the basic shape of the castle can be discerned - a gate tower, a keep surrounded by an inner wall, and an outer wall enclosing all of the protected buildings. </p><p>During the 9<sup>th</sup> century, the Danes began to arrive in England and construct their own settlements. To resist further encroachment on his lands, Alfred the Great fortified the towns that lay on the border with the Danes' settlements, using ditches and ramparts. Meanwhile, Viking invaders of what was to become France were given land around Rouen. This group grew rapidly in strength expanding into the area later known as Normandy. </p><p>When Edward the Confessor's cousin, William, inherited Normandy in 1035 the links between Normandy and England were cemented. On Edward's death, Harold Goodwinson (the strongest of the nobles of England) took the throne sparking William to invade England in 1066. With the invasion came the beginning of the construction of what we recognise today as a true English castle... </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading1"><h1 id="Norman_Castles">Norman Castles</h1></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History_of_the_Period">History of the Period</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BedfordCastleModel.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/BedfordCastleModel.JPG/220px-BedfordCastleModel.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/BedfordCastleModel.JPG/330px-BedfordCastleModel.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/BedfordCastleModel.JPG/440px-BedfordCastleModel.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1280" data-file-height="960" /></a><figcaption>A model of Bedford castle. The distinctive motte with tower can be seen at the bottom left.</figcaption></figure> <p>The Norman period began on 14 October 1066 when the invading forces of William, Duke of Normandy (later known as William the Conqueror) defeated the army of King Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings. Harold's army had been weakened while winning the Battle of Stamford Bridge on 25 September 1066 against the army of King Harald III of Norway. After this initial victory, the southern part of England surrendered quickly to William's rule. It took six more years of battle to subdue the north. </p><p>In 1067 rebels in Kent attacked Dover Castle while Eadric the Wild, back my some Welsh lords, raised forces in western Mercia leading them against the Norman army based in Hereford. In 1068 rebels in Exeter were besieged by William who suffered serious losses before eventually negotiating the surrender of the town. This was followed by another revolt in western Mercia again backed by the Welsh and a separate uprising in Northumbria. It was during this period, as William travelled through England, that many castles were constructed as part of the war against the rebels. </p><p>In 1069 the Norman Earl of Northumbria and his army were attacked by rebels in Durham, all being slain. The rebels were this time supported by forces from Scotland who besieged York Castle and killed its castellan. William brought an army from the south and brought the revolt to an end during which the population of York was massacred. Following his victory William built a second castle at York. </p><p>Later in 1069 a Sweyn II of Denmark sent a fleet to England, the Danes joining forces with a new Northumbrian rebellion. The rebel forces seized both York castles but a probe into Lincolnshire was defeated by the Norman garrison there. At the same time other rebel forces from Cheshire and Shropshire attacked the castle at Shrewsbury while rebels in Dorset and Somerset besieged Montacute Castle. </p><p>Further unrest continued for nearly 20 years; it wasn't until 1088 that England was at peace. </p><p>The Norman period ended in 1154 with the death of King Stephen at Dover Castle. At the time of the Norman conquest, two basic castle forms had developed: the <i>motte and bailey castle</i>, and the <i>enclosure castle</i>. </p><p><br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Motte_and_Bailey_Castles">Motte and Bailey Castles</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Colchester_Castle.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Colchester_Castle.jpg/220px-Colchester_Castle.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Colchester_Castle.jpg/330px-Colchester_Castle.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Colchester_Castle.jpg/440px-Colchester_Castle.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1800" data-file-height="1200" /></a><figcaption>Colchester Castle in Essex. It was constructed from bricks recycled from Roman fortifications</figcaption></figure> <p>The most common type of Norman castle is the motte and bailey. It is constructed by raising a small hill, with a tower on top which is then surrounded by a fence or wall. This type of castle is relatively quick and easy to build. The tower and fence can be constructed of wood yet still offer a strong defence. The motte has to be carefully constructed to prevent its collapse. Usually layers of earth, stone and gravel were used to reinforce the surface. </p><p>Some motte and bailey castles were constructed with stone towers and walls.

The great tower was built later during the reign of Henry I by the Chief Justice of England, Geoffrey de Clinton (who had also been Lord Chamberlain and Treasurer to Henry I). The castle passed to Henry II in 1173. Henry ordered work to improve the strength of the castle and by about 1240 the castle was in its current form. It had been surrounded on three sides by a large artificial lake, known as the Mere, designed to keep siege engines out of range. It also created a formidable barrier for any attack. </p><p>After completing the works, the castle was granted to Simon de Montfort, who was later a prominent leader in the Second Barons' War. Kenilworth Castle was used as his base and was used as a prison for Prince Edward, the heir of Henry III. Edward escaped and later lead forces against de Montfort at Evesham, defeating them and killing de Montfort. </p><p>In 1266 the siege of Kenilworth Castle began, the longest in English history. The besiegers, lead by Lord Edward, were unable to breach the defenses and, after nearly a year, the dispute was settled by agreement. Henry III then passed the castle to his youngest son through him it was eventually inherited by John of Gaunt. John of Gaunt and is grandson, Henry V, slowly converted Kenilworth from a structure that was solely defensive to a more comfortable home. </p><p>Kenilworth Castle passed out of royal hands in 1563, becoming a possession of the Dudley family, before returning after his death. During the English Civil War the castle was captured by the Parliamentarians and later dismantled with the materials sold. After the restoration, the castle was passed to the Earl of Clarendon, who retained possession until 1937. Eventually the castle was given to English Heritage in 1984. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Design_of_the_Castle">Design of the Castle</h4></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Plan_of_Kenilworth_Castle.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/en/thumb/b/b5/Plan_of_Kenilworth_Castle.jpg/220px-Plan_of_Kenilworth_Castle.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="303" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/en/thumb/b/b5/Plan_of_Kenilworth_Castle.jpg/330px-Plan_of_Kenilworth_Castle.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/en/thumb/b/b5/Plan_of_Kenilworth_Castle.jpg/440px-Plan_of_Kenilworth_Castle.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1066" data-file-height="1467" /></a><figcaption>Layout of Kenilworth Castle by Charles Oman</figcaption></figure> <p>Kenilworth Castle began as a motte and bailey castle with wooden walls. It is built on a rock knoll, surrounded by marsh land giving it a naturally strong position. As the castle was developed, the primary material used in the construction was sandstone, sourced from local quarries. </p><p><b>The Keep</b> (A on the diagram) is the strongest part of the castle. The design spreads the enormous weight of the walls across a large area, making them far less likely to collapse if <b>undermined</b>. The walls are thick and were unlikely to be vulnerable to battering.

The keep was entered through a <b>forebuilding</b> which was later converted to a gallery leading to the gardens. </p><p>Adjoining the keep are the kitchens and the Strong Tower. The kitchen was physically separate due to the fire risk and had accommodation for the domestic servants.

At this time the castle was a royal treasure house. The castle was held by the royal family until the 16<sup>th</sup> century when it was disposed of by Elizabeth I to Sir Christopher Hatton. </p><p>In 1635 the castle passed into the Bankes family. The castle was besieged twice during the English Civil War by the Parliamentarians. The first siege last six weeks, and the second two months. It was ended when the Royalists were betrayed.

Following William's death there were two possible heirs to the throne: Henry's daughter, Matilda, and his nephew Stephen. On Henry's death, Stephen became king. Some nobles would have preferred Matilda, sparking a 14 year civil war. </p><p>Matilda married Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, who was also known as "Plantagenet". While Geoffrey attempted to gain control of Normandy, Matilda battled with Stephen for control of England. After capturing Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln, she forced him to allow the throne to pass to her son, who would become Henry II - the first of the Plantagenet kings. He was succeeded by his son, Richard the Lionheart who was succeeded by John. </p><p>During this period of internal strife, the castle played an important role and the nature of the fighting lead to the development of specialised siege equipment. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Shell_Keeps">Shell Keeps</h2></div> <p>Castle engineers during the Norman period did not trust the motte to support the enormous weight of a stone keep. A common solution was to replace the palisade with a stone wall then build wooden buildings backing onto the inside of the wall. This construction was lighter than a keep and prevented the walls from being undermined, meaning they could be thinner and lighter. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Great_Towers">Great Towers</h2></div> <p>In the 12<sup>th</sup> century <b>great towers</b> (also known as a <b>donjon</b> or <b>keep</b>) began to appear as a replacement for the motte as the strong point of the castle. The great tower had thick heavy walls, sometimes up to seven metres thick, and could resist the latest siege machinery while also providing better and more spacious living quarters for the castle owner. Older castles were rebuilt with great towers by either demolishing the motte or constructing the tower on top of the motte. The latter option was less common as the motte could rarely take the weight of a great tower without risk of collapse. In many early castle designs the keep was situated at or near the entrance to the castle to protect this weak point. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Castles_of_the_Period_2">Castles of the Period</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Castle_Rising">Castle Rising</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Castle-rising-castle.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Castle-rising-castle.JPG/220px-Castle-rising-castle.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Castle-rising-castle.JPG/330px-Castle-rising-castle.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Castle-rising-castle.JPG/440px-Castle-rising-castle.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2560" data-file-height="1920" /></a><figcaption>The keep of Castle Rising</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="History_of_the_Castle_3">History of the Castle</h4></div> <p>The construction of Castle Rising began in 1138.

Some civil strife was probably inevitable as Henry was a nine year old boy and incapable of ruling without assistance. A group of rebel barons had invited Prince Louis of France to take the crown and he had led his forces in an invasion of England, laying siege to Windsor, Dover and Lincoln castles. However, he began to lose support when his forces were unable to capture these powerful castles and eventually many barons began to defect to Henry. Louis was defeated by the regent, William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, described as the greatest knight who ever lived. He fought in over 500 <b>tournaments</b>, never losing, as well as performing numerous acts of bravery throughout a long career serving five English kings. </p><p>In 1227, Henry declared himself of age and prepared to rule in his own right. But the barons were a powerful force in the country. In terms of castles, they outnumbered the king three to one, they had more money and more military forces. War broke out and the barons, lead by Simon de Montfort, made quick gains culminating in the capture of Henry and his son, Prince Edward. They escaped though and the war turned in the king's favour with de Montfort being slain at Evesham. In 1272 Edward took the throne as Edward I. His reign was characterised by border wars against Welsh and Scottish forces. It was while travelling to Scotland in 1307 to suppress another rebellion that he died. He was succeeded by Edward II who lead the English army into Scotland. </p><p>Edward II was not the military leader that his father was - his army failed to suppress the rebellion and Scotland was left alone for seven years. When Edward returned in 1314 the Scots, lead by Robert the Bruce, the English army was soundly defeated. Tired of his weakness he was forced from the throne by this Queen and then murdered at Berkeley Castle. </p><p>Edward III was more in the mould of his grandfather. He reestablished the authority of the crown before building up England's forces to become the most powerful in Europe. He smashed the Scots near Berwick making use of longbows and paid soldiers who had begun to replace the traditional feudal knights. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Enclosure_Castles_2">Enclosure Castles</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Quadrangular_Castles">Quadrangular Castles</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Great_Towers_and_Pele_Towers">Great Towers and Pele Towers</h2></div> <p>A <a href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/English_Castle_Glossary#Great_tower" title="Castles of England/English Castle Glossary">great tower</a> is the name given to the main tower of a motte and bailey castle. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Fortified_Manors">Fortified Manors</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Castles_of_the_Period_3">Castles of the Period</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Framlington_Castle">Framlington Castle</h3></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="York_Castle">York Castle</h3></div> <p>The first York Castle was built on the orders of William I in 1068 and was a motte and bailey castle.

The era of siege warfare was coming to an end, and castles had not played a major role in the War of the Roses. A typical castle of the period is closer to a fortified manor house than a true castle.

Some castles, however, continued to be maintained, particularly those in strategically important locations like the Scottish borders and ports. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Civil_War">The Civil War</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Outer_bailey_wall_west_of_the_outer_gatehouse_corfe_castle.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Outer_bailey_wall_west_of_the_outer_gatehouse_corfe_castle.jpg/220px-Outer_bailey_wall_west_of_the_outer_gatehouse_corfe_castle.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Outer_bailey_wall_west_of_the_outer_gatehouse_corfe_castle.jpg/330px-Outer_bailey_wall_west_of_the_outer_gatehouse_corfe_castle.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Outer_bailey_wall_west_of_the_outer_gatehouse_corfe_castle.jpg/440px-Outer_bailey_wall_west_of_the_outer_gatehouse_corfe_castle.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2816" data-file-height="1877" /></a><figcaption>Corfe Castle in Dorset.

It could refer to knights or noblemen and to members of their retinues or to mercenaries in companies under captains. Such men could serve for pay or through a feudal obligation. The terms <i>knight</i> and <i>man-at-arms</i> are often used interchangeably, but while all knights equipped for war certainly were men-at-arms, not all men-at-arms were knights. </p><p>Throughout the Medieval period and into the Renaissance the armour of the man-at-arms became progressively more effective and expensive. Throughout the 14th century, the armour worn by a man-at-arms would have been a composite of materials. Over a quilted gambeson, mail armour would cover the body, limbs and head. Increasingly during the century, the mail would have been supplemented by plate armour on the body and limbs. In the 15th century, full plate armour was developed, which reduced the mail component to a few points of flexible reinforcement. </p><p>From the 14th to 16th century, the primary weapon of the man at arms on horseback would be the lance. The lance of the 14th century was essentially a simple spear, 12 ft. in length, usually of ash. In response to the development of improved armour, however, heavier lances weighing up to 18 kg. were developed and a new method of using them in conjunction with a lance rest (<i>arrête</i>) fixed to the breastplate developed. This combination of heavy lance and <i>arrête</i> enabled the mounted man-at-arms to enjoy a new effectiveness on the battlefields of the later 15th and 16th centuries. Not all men-at-arms in the 15th century carried the heavy lance. A lighter weapon called a demi-lance evolved and this gave its name to a new class of lighter-equipped man-at-arms, the demi-lancer, towards the end of the 15th century. </p><p>When fighting on foot, men-at-arms initially adapted their ordinary cavalry weapons. In the 15th century, the increased protection of plate armour led to the development of a specialist foot combat weapon, the pollaxe. </p><p>A castle would have had a garrison of a number of men-at-arms and they would have fulfilled the role of both cavalry and infantry as demands required. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Officials">Officials</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Butler">The Butler</h3></div> <p>In a medieval castle the butler was a mid ranked member of the staff responsible for the storage, security and serving of alcohol. The name "butler" derives from the Middle English word <i>boteler</i> which itself is derived from the Latin <i>butticula</i> meaning someone who looks after <i>butts</i>, that is, casks of wine. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Castellan">The Castellan</h3></div> <p>The castellan was the governor of the castle, responsible for all aspects of its domestic and military organisation.

The theory underlying the design was to force the attackers to enter an enclosed space, overlooked by well protected positions, in order to approach the gate. Once inside the enclosed space (usually a narrow passage) the attackers could be harried by arrows, boiling water or other weapons fired from elevated positions. The passage inside the barbican was sometimes designed with a dog-leg close to the gate. This prevented attackers being able to effectively use a battering ram. </p><p>The name derives from the Iranian word 'parivraka' meaning 'protective'. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Concentric_Walls">Concentric Walls</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:London_-_Tower_Westseite.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/London_-_Tower_Westseite.jpg/220px-London_-_Tower_Westseite.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/London_-_Tower_Westseite.jpg/330px-London_-_Tower_Westseite.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/London_-_Tower_Westseite.jpg/440px-London_-_Tower_Westseite.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2036" data-file-height="1470" /></a><figcaption>The west side of the Tower of London. The concentric walls can be easily seen</figcaption></figure> <p>Concentric walls were developed at a similar time to the barbican and were based on the same theory. A second wall was built outside of the main wall. The area between the two walls became a killing zone for attackers who climbed the outer wall - once they were between the two walls they could be fired on from the inner wall, with no opportunity to take cover or move out of range. The outer wall was lower than the inner wall, allowing defenders on the inner wall to fire at attackers outside the outer wall. </p><p>The cost of a concentric wall was enormous and they were only used on the most important castles.

In early castle construction, a ditch was often dug around the site and the spoil piled up on the inside, forming a rampart. In later designs, the ditch was retained although the rampart was replaced with a stone wall. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bodiam_Castle_from_the_south.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Bodiam_Castle_from_the_south.jpg/220px-Bodiam_Castle_from_the_south.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Bodiam_Castle_from_the_south.jpg/330px-Bodiam_Castle_from_the_south.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Bodiam_Castle_from_the_south.jpg/440px-Bodiam_Castle_from_the_south.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1544" data-file-height="1024" /></a><figcaption>Bodiam Castle showing the extensive moat protecting the walls</figcaption></figure> <p>To make the ditch difficult to cross, a <b>moat</b> was created by diverting a local water source to fill the ditch to a depth greater than a man could wade.

Early curtain walls were constructed of wood using the heaviest manageable timber that was available locally. The timber was driven to a relatively shallow depth in the ground and then strengthened with cross timbers and propped from behind to resist battering. Timber walls were vulnerable to attack by fire and were replaced with stone as castle design evolved. By the late 11th century nearly all curtain walls were being constructed from stone. Stone walls were also vulnerable to fire as extreme heat can cause cracking and heaving. </p><p>The height of the curtain wall increased in response to developments in siege equipment, the more modern designs being capable of pitching projectiles over the lower walls. However, as the wall height increased, so did the weight and the stability was reduced. This reduced stability made the base of the wall vulnerable to breaching and undermining. The danger of breaching was mitigated to a degree by building a thicker sloped base to the wall (called a <b>batter</b>). </p><p>Every castle wall, regardless of its height or width, is a massive and extremely heavy constructions and must be well founded on rock or other firm material. If the ground was not strong enough to support the walls, then large trenches would need to be dug and filled with rubble in a similar manner to modern building foundations. The wall was then raised on the foundations or bedrock. The most typical construction was to build a shell of stone slabs, each cut to a regular shape, then fill the shell with a compacted rubble core. Once complete, the wall would be topped with a parapet and then plastered to protect it from weathering. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Undermining">Undermining</h3></div> <p>One way of breaching a castle wall was to tunnel beneath it. Miners would dig beneath the walls, propping the walls above as they went with wooden supports. Once enough of the wall was undermined and propped, the wood would be set alight. As the tunnel collapsed, the wall would fall into the hole, hopefully making a gap large enough for the attackers to break through. Examples of castles that were attacked by undermining include Dover Castle and Rochester Castle. Clearly the usefulness of undermining as an offensive technique depended to a large degree on the founding of the walls. Walls founded on hard rock, for example granite, would present a significant challenge for miners. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Arrow_and_Gun_Loops">Arrow and Gun Loops</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Framlingham_Castle_walls_and_buildings_2005-02_07.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Framlingham_Castle_walls_and_buildings_2005-02_07.jpg/220px-Framlingham_Castle_walls_and_buildings_2005-02_07.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Framlingham_Castle_walls_and_buildings_2005-02_07.jpg/330px-Framlingham_Castle_walls_and_buildings_2005-02_07.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Framlingham_Castle_walls_and_buildings_2005-02_07.jpg/440px-Framlingham_Castle_walls_and_buildings_2005-02_07.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="1600" /></a><figcaption>An arrow loop at Framlingham Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>Originally, arrows were of little use when defending a castle as they could not easily penetrate the chain mail armour worn by attackers. The crossbow, a much more powerful weapon, was able to pierce armour and had a greater range than the ordinary bow. With this development, castles began to be built with <b>arrow loops</b>. These were usually built so that defenders could fire down at attackers near the base of walls or other vulnerable points. Arrow loops were designed with a funnel shape, with a wide opening tapering down to a narrow slit. This gave archers a sideways range in their aim while being well protected. </p><p>The later development of the gun lead to a modification of the design of loops to accommodate it. <b>Gun loops</b> are usually only present in the gatehouse. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gates_and_Portcullis">Gates and Portcullis</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Stirling_Castle_portcullis_dsc06571.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Stirling_Castle_portcullis_dsc06571.jpg/220px-Stirling_Castle_portcullis_dsc06571.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Stirling_Castle_portcullis_dsc06571.jpg/330px-Stirling_Castle_portcullis_dsc06571.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Stirling_Castle_portcullis_dsc06571.jpg/440px-Stirling_Castle_portcullis_dsc06571.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1944" data-file-height="2592" /></a><figcaption>The portcullis at Stirling Castle.</figcaption></figure> <p>Castle gates were usually constructed of wood, reinforced with iron bars. It is likely that they would have been of very heavy construction, however, few original gates survive so the exact methods of construction are not entirely certain. The gate was usually backed by a wooden bar that slotted into holes in the wall to brace it closed. Despite their strength and bracing the gate remained the most vulnerable part of any well designed castles. Stronger castles had a gatehouse to enable the defenders to engage enemies attempting to break down the gate. </p><p>A portcullis is a metal grille that was lowered down in front of a gate when the castle was under attack. The portcullis protected the gate both from battering and from fires. Once lowered, the portcullis was usually jammed from above to prevent it being lifted. In some castles, the portcullis was designed to be lowered behind attackers, trapping them in a passageway in which they could be attacked from either <b>murder holes</b> or <b>arrow loops</b>. Large or sophisticated castles could have a whole series of portcullis through the gate passages. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading1"><h1 id="The_Domestic_Areas">The Domestic Areas</h1></div> <p>This chapter describes the main features of a castle that served its domestic purpose.

One end of the hall would have had a dais where the castle owner and family would have dined. The <b>great chamber</b> was commonly located directly behind or above the dais. Originally the hall was used by both the owner, his household and the servants for eating and sleeping, but in later castles the servants made use of a subsidiary hall and the owner had moved to the great chamber. </p><p>The hall was usually on the first or second floor of the keep, with the space below used for cellars. The hall usually occupied two "floors" of the keep, having a double height ceiling. The upper level would sometimes have a <b>mural gallery</b>, a walkway through the wall.

The public chapels were typically located in the bailey. </p><p>A chapel would have been aligned with the altar to the east and the entrance to the west, the normal practice for Christian churches. Also like churches of the period, the chapel would have been richly decorated, perhaps with tapestries covering the walls. </p><p>As well as conducting religious ceremonies, the chaplain would have been involved in the administrative work of the castle.

In early designs, the chamber would have been heated by braziers, later designs incorporating fireplaces. </p><p>The chamber also served as a treasury, so it had to be in a secure location.

This meant that the production of vast quantities of food was essential in a castle, meaning a large kitchen. </p><p>The main feature of the kitchen would have been its fireplaces.

Then the oven was swept clean and the food put inside - the retained heat in the bricks cooking the food. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Pantry,_Larder_and_Buttery"><span id="The_Pantry.2C_Larder_and_Buttery"></span>The Pantry, Larder and Buttery</h3></div> <p>The pantry was the storage and preparation room for general provisions that were not being prepared in the kitchen. The name derives from the French word for bread, <i>pain</i>. The <b>pantler</b> was responsible for the pantry. </p><p>The larder was under the control of the <b>larderer</b> and was used to store meat and fish. </p><p>The buttery was for the storage of "butts" of ale and other alcohol. It was the responsibility of the butler. As the storage and control of alcohol was very important, the most trustworthy servant was put in charge. This lead to the butler taking the role of head of the domestic household. </p><p>It was fairly typical for the buttery and pantry to be built at the opposite end of the hall to the great chamber. For storing expensive goods, like spices, an <b>ambury</b> (a cupboard built into the wall) was used. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Brewery">The Brewery</h3></div> <p>Water was not usually drunk as it was generally unsafe, particularly near a castle where the watercourses were likely to be contaminated with disease pathogens from sewage and other waste. The brewing process removes impurities and destroys harmful bacteria, making ale safe to drink. As such it was the drink of choice for all but those who couldn't afford it. Later, ale was flavoured with hops producing beer. Given the high demand for ale and beer every major castle would have had its own brewery to provide for the residents. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Dovecotes">Dovecotes</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Newark_Castle_doocot.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Newark_Castle_doocot.jpg/220px-Newark_Castle_doocot.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="278" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Newark_Castle_doocot.jpg/330px-Newark_Castle_doocot.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Newark_Castle_doocot.jpg/440px-Newark_Castle_doocot.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1284" data-file-height="1623" /></a><figcaption>The dovecote from Newark Castle, in Scotland</figcaption></figure> <p>Castles would have kept doves for the food from the birds themselves, their eggs and for carrying messages.

It was used for general storage as well as those things normally expected in a castle - weapons, armour and other military supplies. The castle designers would have tried to ensure the cellar was fireproof as its destruction, with its large supplies of food, could have lead to the quick defeat of the castle garrison. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Dungeons">The Dungeons</h3></div> <p>It may be surprising, but actually very few castles were built with a dungeon. The underground areas seen in castles and castle ruins today were nearly always cellars or other storage areas. The reason there were no dungeons was because there were no prisoners. The criminal justice system of the period tended to lead to people being found not guilty, or being hung. Cells or dungeons were only required if for some reason a suspected criminal needed to be held pending trial, but this was rather rare. </p><p>Later, as the criminal justice system developed, underground areas of castles were sometimes turned into prisons. These cellars were no longer required for their original purpose as the castle was not required to hold stores against a long siege. So they made convenient places to hold criminals. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design_Features">Design Features</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Garderobes">Garderobes</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:GarderobeChirkCastle.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/GarderobeChirkCastle.jpg/220px-GarderobeChirkCastle.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="241" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/GarderobeChirkCastle.jpg/330px-GarderobeChirkCastle.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/GarderobeChirkCastle.jpg/440px-GarderobeChirkCastle.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1926" data-file-height="2109" /></a><figcaption>A garderobe, this one is in Chirk Castle, Wales</figcaption></figure> <p>A garderobe was the medieval equivalent of a lavatory. There was usually one or more in each of the main castle rooms. Typically they would be positioned next to or within the castle walls. If the castle walls weren't thick enough to contain the garderobe, it would be built on brackets outside the wall, hanging directly over the ditch or moat. The approach to a garderobe was dog-legged to reduce the amount of odour escaping back into the castle. There was little sophistication to a garderobe - it was just a hole, covered with a wooden bench that either opened directly to the outside or to a chute. Regardless of the method of disposal, the deposits had to be regularly cleared away - possibly the most unpleasant job in a castle. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Staircases">Staircases</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Foulksrath_Castle_07.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Foulksrath_Castle_07.jpg/220px-Foulksrath_Castle_07.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Foulksrath_Castle_07.jpg/330px-Foulksrath_Castle_07.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Foulksrath_Castle_07.jpg/440px-Foulksrath_Castle_07.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="1600" /></a><figcaption>A typical castle staircase in turnpike design, this one is at Foulksrath Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>As castles are usually built on several levels, staircases are an important component of the design. The defensive strength of a castle can be significantly affected by the design and positioning of the staircase. Where a staircase is inside the castle wall, it creates a weak point that can be targeted by siege engines. To avoid creating a thinner wall, staircases were sometimes built outside the tower or keep. </p><p>A second consideration was the direction of a spiral staircase. Once an enemy had entered the castle, the staircases could be made easier to defend by making them spiral. In what is known as a "turnpike" arrangement, the stairs spiral so that a defender higher up the staircase is free to use his sword arm while the attacker has restricted movement. </p><p>Finally, staircases may be placed on alternate sides of the structure (for example, from ground to first floor the staircase is on the north side, from first to second floor, it is on the south side). This arrangement means the attackers have to fight their way across the floor to reach the next staircase. In some designs, the rooms would be split in half with a wall and doorway creating an extra defensive point. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fireplaces">Fireplaces</h3></div> <p>In early castles, heat was provided by free-standing braziers and central hearth fires. The fireplace was developed in around 1100 and began to be incorporated in castle design from that point onwards. The fireplace lead to a major change inside the castle as it removed the central fires, creating a wider, open space and reducing the amount of smoke and soot. This in turn lead to the increasing decoration of the important rooms, like the hall and great chamber. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Wells">Wells</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Carisbrooke_Castle_well_house_3.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Carisbrooke_Castle_well_house_3.jpg/220px-Carisbrooke_Castle_well_house_3.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="355" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Carisbrooke_Castle_well_house_3.jpg/330px-Carisbrooke_Castle_well_house_3.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Carisbrooke_Castle_well_house_3.jpg/440px-Carisbrooke_Castle_well_house_3.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2144" data-file-height="3456" /></a><figcaption>A donkey wheel operated well at Carisbrooke Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>It is a fundamental design tenet or a castle that it needs to be able to survive a prolonged siege. The provision of a reliable source of drinking water inside the castle is therefore essential. The well would have to be positioned so it could not be captured while other areas of the castle continued to resist the attackers. This means that at least one well would normally be inside the keep itself. An additional well would often be placed near the kitchen. </p><p>However, provision of wells was a significant problem for many castles. A castle was typically built on high, often rocky, ground, making it difficult to sink a well. Also the well had to be deep enough so that it couldn't be contaminated by sewage or waste from the castle. In some designs, the upper parts of the well were stone lined to try and prevent contamination and many would have had a cover for when they were not in use. </p><p>When the well was particularly deep, lifting sufficient water for the castle population would have been a back-breaking task. To mitigate this, donkey wheels were sometimes installed to provide power for the lifting mechanism. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading1"><h1 id="Castle_Construction_Techniques">Castle Construction Techniques</h1></div> <p>Castles in England have been constructed from a number of materials including stone, brick, timber, lead, iron and tin. To a large degree the choice of material for the main walls was driven by the availability of local supplies and, in later years where defensive strength was less important, fashion. </p><p>The earliest castles were constructed primarily of wood, locally sourced as the transportation of felled timber over long distances was both impractical and expensive. </p><p>Work on the castle construction could not usually take place in the winter or early spring as it was too difficult to work in wet conditions. Even when work could take place, the sheer size of a castle meant it would take many years to build - for example, Dover Castle took 10 years to build. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Foundations">Foundations</h2></div> <p>For stone built castles the foundations would, wherever possible, been built directly onto the bedrock. The builders would dig down to the rock before leveling it to create the strongest possible foundation. The stones for the walls would be laid directly onto the bedrock. If there was no suitable bedrock or it was too deep, then a similar approach to that used today for buildings would be used. The builders would dig a deep and wide trench, then fill it with rubble that was packed down as firmly as possible to create a solid foundation. The wall stones would be built on the compacted rubble. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Walls">Walls</h2></div> <p>Walls were generally built of stone within wooden frames designed to hold the stone in place while the mortar dried. For thick walls, the wall was usually constructed with a cavity that was filled with rubble rather than being solid stone. Where strength was not so vital, the cavity sometimes contained a staircase. Scaffolding was used as the wall grew higher. It was held in place by inserting horizontal wooden scaffold beams into <b>putlog</b> holes built into the wall. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Moats">Moats</h2></div> <p>A moat is typically either a dry or water filled ditch. Most commonly it was constructed by expanding or diverting an existing watercourse. In some cases the castle would be built on a peninsula or even an island. In Guernsey, Castle Cornet goes even further and the sea performs the function of a moat. </p><p>Constructing a moat from scratch was a significant effort requiring hard labour. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading1"><h1 id="The_Castle_Estate">The Castle Estate</h1></div> <p>In this chapter we'll explore the wider setting of the castle, including the lands set aside for food production and recreation.

Photograph by Philip Halling</figcaption></figure> <p>During the winter, supplying fresh food for the castle garrison was a constant struggle. Although meat would be available from deer parks, this couldn't supply the needs of the whole household. A fish pond provided an elegant solution. As long as there was a natural flow of water into the pond, fish required no feeding and were available all year round. There would usually be a series of ponds, with fish being moved between them as they grew. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Deer_Parks">Deer Parks</h3></div> <p>Hunting was a popular activity for castle owners and their household, and a deer park provided a recreational facility as well as food for the table. The park was constructed by digging a ditch and raising a rampart around the edge, topping the rampart with a fence. The design was the opposite of a castle's defences, with the ditch on the inside, as the intention was to keep the deer in. The parks were protected by Forest Law, which also banned the hunting of boar, hare and wolf. The castle owner required a license from the king to construct a deer park, which, along with the more general ban on deer hunting, made venison an exclusive meat. Thus the castle owner with a deer park was able to greatly impress visitors by serving venison. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mills">Mills</h3></div> <p>Mills were required for the production of flour. They were large and expensive, and a significant source of revenue, so the castle estate would usually have a watermill, windmills being comparatively rare during the age of the castle. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Barracks">Barracks</h2></div> <p>Before the 14<sup>th</sup> century, the fighting strength of a castle - its knights and peasant soldiers - would have lived outside the castle. The knights supplied their own horses and equipment as part of their feudal commitment. Later the feudal system began to be replaced with standing armies of professional soldiers. The castle owner had to provide this army with board and lodgings. Typically these barracks were constructed inside the outer bailey. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gardens">Gardens</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Tiltyard">The Tiltyard</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Horse_Guards_Parade,_London_April_2006_023.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Horse_Guards_Parade%2C_London_April_2006_023.jpg/220px-Horse_Guards_Parade%2C_London_April_2006_023.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Horse_Guards_Parade%2C_London_April_2006_023.jpg/330px-Horse_Guards_Parade%2C_London_April_2006_023.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Horse_Guards_Parade%2C_London_April_2006_023.jpg/440px-Horse_Guards_Parade%2C_London_April_2006_023.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2560" data-file-height="1920" /></a><figcaption>Horse Guards Parade in London, a former tiltyard.</figcaption></figure> <p>If anything seems inextricably linked with the castle, it's the tiltyard.

Jousting where two knights ride at each other, occurred during tournaments but was more a feature of the tournament than the main event. Jousting as an event in its own right became increasingly popular from about the 12<sup>th</sup> century as it allowed individual knights to demonstrate their skill and courage. Large sums of money were on offer for the winners, but losing could mean the loss of a fortune or even life. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading1"><h1 id="Attacking_a_Castle">Attacking a Castle</h1></div> <p>In this chapter we look at the ways a castle could be attacked, and the weapons that were used.

Its main use was to attack the castle walls rather than the defenders as it hurled stones or other ammunition at high speed but at too shallow an angle to reach the top of the wall. The mangonel had a bucket at one end that could be filled with different materials depending on the situation. For example, burning barrels of pitch could have been thrown to set fire to the bottom of the walls with the intention of weakening the cement, making the wall easier to collapse.

It was also more flexible, being capable of striking the castle walls as well as lifting objects over the walls to attack the interior of the castle. It used a counterweight to drive the arm, providing more power than the twisted rope used by mangonels. It also had a sling to hold the payload which had a mechanism for releasing it at the right point to achieve the maximum range. Records of the use of trebuchets suggest that the largest could fire rocks of up to 1,500 kg (although smaller stones must surely have been more typically used) and could achieve a rate of fire of one stone every 15 seconds. The maximum range varied but was probably between 200 and 300 feet. </p><p>The trebuchet was the most advanced of the siege engines and was not replaced until the advent of gunpowder. </p><p>A trebuchet constructed from 13<sup>th</sup> century plans in 2005 stood some 18 meters high and weighed more than 22 tons, giving some idea of the enormous scale of these weapons.

The first, and most common, reason was to weaken the wall above the mine. The attackers would tunnel underneath the wall, shoring up the tunnel with timber props. Once the mine was complete, a fire would be set to burn out the props and collapse the tunnel, hopefully bringing the wall down. A mine could also be sunk to build a route into the castle for the attackers to launch a surprise attack. If a mine was suspected, the defenders could dig a <a href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/English_Castle_Glossary#Countermine" title="Castles of England/English Castle Glossary">counter mine</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Burning">Burning</h2></div> <p>Early Motte and Bailey castles were constructed of wood, making fire an effective weapon. The fire could be set in a number of ways, usually by either building a fire against the wall or by launching burning arrows into the castle, using archers. Fire was a much less effective weapon against a stone castle. Although a fire could be set amongst the timber buildings within the bailey, it was often out of range of an arrow and easily extinguished by the defenders. William the conqueror ordered for all new castles to be built out of stone to resolve the problem. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Direct_Assault">Direct Assault</h2></div> <p>There are a number of ways of assaulting a castle: over the top of the walls using towers or ladders, under the walls using a mine, or through the walls using a battering ram, pickaxes or other tools. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Siege_Tower">Siege Tower</h3></div> <p>A <a href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/English_Castle_Glossary#SiegeTower" title="Castles of England/English Castle Glossary">siege tower</a> is a mobile tower, usually constructed from wood, that provides protection for those attacking the castle while allowing them to gain access over the walls. The tower was sometimes coated with water-soaked hides to reduce the risk of fire being set by fire arrows or <b>Greek fire</b>. Towers became larger and more sophisticated over the years. By the time of the siege of Kenilworth Castle in 1266 the towers in use could hold 11 catapults and over 200 archers each. </p><p>Siege towers fell out of use with the development of the cannon.

This allowed the attacker's to move the ram close to the wall or gate protected from the defenders.

The castle played a prominent part in civil war of the Anarchy in the mid-12th century and in the First Barons' War at the start of the 13th century. The castle was significantly extended in stone, although the final plan of the castle remains uncertain. Henry III besieged the castle in 1224 the siege lasting eight weeks and involving an army of as many as 2,700 men. After the surrender of the castle, the king ordered its destruction. Although partially refortified in the 17th century during the English Civil War, the castle remained a ruin until the urban expansion in Bedford during the 19th century, when houses were built across much of the property. Today only part of the motte still stands, forming part of an archaeological park built on the site between 2007 and 2009. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Someries_Castle">Someries Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Someries_Castle.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Someries_Castle.jpg/225px-Someries_Castle.jpg" decoding="async" width="225" height="169" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Someries_Castle.jpg/338px-Someries_Castle.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/Someries_Castle.jpg/450px-Someries_Castle.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="768" /></a><figcaption>Someries Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>Someries Castle (sometimes spelt Summeries Castle) is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, in the Parish of Hyde, near the town of Luton, Bedfordshire. It was built in the 15th century by Sir John Wenlock. Although always referred to as a castle it was actually a fortified manor house. </p><p>The name of "Someries Castle" was derived from William de Someries, who had a residence on this site, but the title "castle" is contentious since it hardly describes the structure to which it is applied. The site was acquired by Wenlock in 1430 and building the mansion commenced. The house is unique in that it is regarded as one of the first brick buildings in England. The house was never completed by Wenlock, and was partly demolished in the 18th century. The brickwork can still be seen in the remains of the gatehouse, incorporating the chapel and lodge, which still stands today. </p><p>The remains of the original manor house and/or the earlier Norman Castle are now visible only as earthworks that outline the plot where the house originally stood, although remains of the gatehouse to the actual manor house and the chapel that was connected to it, are still partially standing. Some bricks from the manor house were used to build the nearby farm houses in the 17th century. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Totternhoe_Castle">Totternhoe Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Totternhoe_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_323991.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Totternhoe_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_323991.jpg/225px-Totternhoe_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_323991.jpg" decoding="async" width="225" height="169" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Totternhoe_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_323991.jpg/338px-Totternhoe_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_323991.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Totternhoe_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_323991.jpg/450px-Totternhoe_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_323991.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="480" /></a><figcaption>Totternhose Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>Totternhoe Castle is a medieval castle in Bedfordshire.

It was built by its original owner, Richard Abberbury the Elder, under a licence granted by Richard II in 1386. The surviving castle gatehouse dates from this time. The castle was subsequently bought by Thomas Chaucer, the son of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer, as a residence for his daughter Alice, who later became Duchess of Suffolk. This family later fell out with the Tudor monarchs, and the castle became a Royal property. Both King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I visited Donnington Castle, in 1539 and 1568 respectively. </p><p>The castle was originally built in a rectangular form, with a curtain wall cornered by four round towers, two square wall towers, and a substantial gatehouse, constructed around a courtyard. The courtyard buildings were probably of timber construction and possibly included a hall, kitchen, and guest lodgings. </p><p>By the time the English Civil War broke out in 1643, the castle was owned by the Parliamentarian John Packer family but after the First Battle of Newbury it was taken for the King, Charles I, and held by Sir John Boys. They quickly built defences on the slopes of the hill in a star shape. The projections were for gun emplacements, the scarps and platforms of which survive today. Despite being besieged for most of the war, it had to be relieved by the King on two occasions, the castle succeeded in guarding the major routes from London to the West Country and Oxford to Southampton. During the Second Battle of Newbury, the castle was able to hold off the Parliamentary attackers. Finally, after an eighteen month siege, the garrison, after obtaining the Kings permission, abandoned the damaged castle and were allowed to rejoin Royalist forces in Wallingford. </p><p>In 1646 Parliament voted to demolish the castle leaving only the gatehouse remaining, which was then restored to John Packer. All that remains of the castle today is the substantial four towered gatehouse, and the surrounding earthworks. </p><p>The castle is now in the care of English Heritage and is a scheduled ancient monument number 233041. The gatehouse is two stories high and roofed at battlement level. The external walls of the castle have been rebuilt to a height of 50 centimetres to indicate the original layout. The temporary Civil War works remain for the most part as scarps averaging 1.7m high. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Windsor_Castle">Windsor Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Windsor_Castle_at_Sunset_-_Nov_2006.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Windsor_Castle_at_Sunset_-_Nov_2006.jpg/200px-Windsor_Castle_at_Sunset_-_Nov_2006.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="133" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Windsor_Castle_at_Sunset_-_Nov_2006.jpg/300px-Windsor_Castle_at_Sunset_-_Nov_2006.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Windsor_Castle_at_Sunset_-_Nov_2006.jpg/400px-Windsor_Castle_at_Sunset_-_Nov_2006.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3990" data-file-height="2659" /></a><figcaption>Windsor Castle at sunset</figcaption></figure> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Windsorcastleplan.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A schematic map, with dark green parts of the castle on a light green background, individual locations marked out in red letters." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/Windsorcastleplan.svg/350px-Windsorcastleplan.svg.png" decoding="async" width="350" height="219" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/Windsorcastleplan.svg/525px-Windsorcastleplan.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/Windsorcastleplan.svg/700px-Windsorcastleplan.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1500" data-file-height="938" /></a><figcaption>Plan of Windsor Castle.

The original castle was built after the Norman invasion by William the Conqueror. Since the time of Henry I it has been used by a succession of monarchs and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe. </p><p>Originally designed to protect Norman dominance around the outskirts of London, and to oversee a strategically important part of the River Thames, Windsor Castle was built as a motte and bailey, with three wards surrounding a central mound. Gradually replaced with stone fortifications, the castle withstood a prolonged siege during the First Barons' War at the start of the 13th century. Henry III built a luxurious royal palace within the castle during the middle of the century. </p><p>Windsor Castle survived a tumultuous period during the English Civil War, in which the castle was used as a military headquarters for Parliamentary forces and a prison for Charles I. During the Restoration, Charles II rebuilt much of Windsor Castle with the help of architect Hugh May, creating a set of extravagant, Baroque interiors. After a period of neglect during the 18th century, George III and George IV renovated and rebuilt Charles II's palace at colossal expense. </p><p>Windsor Castle occupies a large site of more than thirteen acres and combines the features of a fortification, a palace, and a small town. It is in essence a Georgian and Victorian design based on a medieval structure, with Gothic features reinvented in a modern style.

Originally a medieval castle but converted into a stately palace, it was the family seat of the Dukes of Manchester from 1615 until 1950. It now houses Kimbolton School. </p><p>A wooden motte and bailey castle was built in Kimbolton, on a different site, in Norman times. Later, King John granted Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Earl of Essex permission to hold a fair and market in Kimbolton, as a consequence of which a market place was created, with the existing church at one end and a new castle at the other. No remains of this castle remain, although it was built on the site of the present castle. </p><p>The castle went through various phases of ownership until, by the 1520s, it belonged to the Wingfield family. The medieval castle was rebuilt as a Tudor manor house, parts of which survive. Catherine of Aragon was sent here in April 1534 for refusing to give up her status or deny the validity of her marriage. </p><p>The castle was bought by Sir Henry Montagu, later 1st Earl of Manchester, in 1615.

The first documentary records for Kirtling Tower date from 1219, and the 13th century Kirtling Castle was described as having a moat, a ditch and a palisade. In 1424 there was a substantial rebuilding of the castle by Richard de Beauchamp, the Earl of Warwick, with a hundred oak trees used to create a complex with a parlour, a solar and chambers. </p><p>Edward North, a successful lawyer, rebuilt the castle in the 1540s and between 1556 to 1558 using the architect Francis Adams, renaming it Kirtling Hall. The earthworks around the castle were considerably altered to provide for a raised platform for the new house, which included contemporary Tudor features such as a gatehouse, gallery, lodgings, a banqueting house and a garden, complete with grand water features and ponds. Queen Elizabeth I stayed at the castle in 1578 during her state procession across Cambridgeshire. The castle continued to develop, and by the 1660s was the largest country house in Cambridgeshire, centred on a symmetrical two-storey south-facing range, with east and west wings providing additional accommodation and facilities. </p><p>The castle went into decline after 1691 and by 1735 the Victoria County History of the castle describes the property as being "in disorder". Much of the castle was pulled down in 1748 in order to make the remainder habitable for Lord Elibank, but the property went into decline again after his death in 1762. By the 1770s it was uninhabitable and most of the castle pulled down in 1801. In the 1830s the gatehouse was turned into a residential property and was renamed Kirtling Tower; an extension was built in 1872 and the house remained in use under a sequence of tenants. </p><p>The main feature of the castle today is the three-storey Tudor gatehouse, which closely resembles the gatehouse at Leez Priory, built by North's friend and fellow lawyer Richard Rich. Built of brick, it has octagonal turrets and an oriel window of Italian design. It is a scheduled monument and a Grade I listed building. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Longthorpe_Tower">Longthorpe Tower</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Longthorpe_Tower1.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Longthorpe_Tower1.jpg/220px-Longthorpe_Tower1.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="329" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Longthorpe_Tower1.jpg/330px-Longthorpe_Tower1.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Longthorpe_Tower1.jpg 2x" data-file-width="428" data-file-height="640" /></a><figcaption>Longthorpe Tower</figcaption></figure> <p>Longthorpe Tower is a fourteenth century, three-storey tower in the village of Longthorpe which is part of Peterborough about two miles to the west of the city centre. </p><p>It was added in 1310 to a fortified manor house.

The gatehouse is dominated by a huge gateway, which, whilst it did not have a drawbridge or portcullis, provided considerable protection to the manor behind it. The hall typified the 14th century fashion for improved lighting, with bay windows placed regularly along the line of the hall, and was decorated with wall paintings.

access to the gateway of the inner ward at Beeston Castle.</figcaption></figure> <p>Beeston Castle is in Beeston, Cheshire and is perched on a rocky sandstone crag 350 ft above the Cheshire Plain. It was built in the 1220s by Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, on his return from the Crusades. In 1237, Henry III took over the ownership of Beeston, and it was kept in good repair until the 16th century, when it was considered to be of no further military use, although it was pressed into service again in 1643, during the Civil War. The castle was slighted in 1646, in accordance with Cromwell's destruction order, to prevent its further use as a stronghold. During the 18th century the site was used as a quarry. </p><p>Unlike many other castles of the period, Beeston does not have a keep as its last line of defence. Instead the natural features of the land together with massive walls, strong gate houses, and carefully positioned towers made the baileys themselves the stronghold. The defences consisted of two parts. Firstly, an inner ward on the summit of the hill, with a sheer drop on three sides and a defensive ditch up to 30 ft deep in places cut into the rock on the fourth side. Secondly, an outer bailey was built on the lower slopes, with a massive gatehouse protected by a 16 ft wide and 10 ft deep ditch. </p><p>The outer bailey was roughly rectangular, with 6 ft thick walls faced in sandstone and infilled with rubble. The walls, parts of which still remain, contain a number of D-shaped towers, an innovation in English castles at that time. The towers allowed defenders to fire across the walls as well as forwards, and their open-backed design meant that they would not offer cover to any attackers who gained access to the outer bailey. The inner bailey was situated on the rocky summit at the western end of the crag. To provide the castle's inhabitants with a supply of fresh water two wells were dug into the rock, one of them, at 370 ft deep, one of the deepest castle wells in England. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chester_Castle">Chester Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Chestercastle.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Chestercastle.jpg/180px-Chestercastle.jpg" decoding="async" width="180" height="135" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Chestercastle.jpg/270px-Chestercastle.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Chestercastle.jpg/360px-Chestercastle.jpg 2x" data-file-width="400" data-file-height="300" /></a><figcaption>Chester Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>Chester Castle is in the city of Chester and is sited at the south west extremity of the area bounded by the city walls. The castle stands on an eminence overlooking the River Dee. In the castle complex are the remaining parts of the medieval castle. The castle was built in 1070 by Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester. It is possible that it was built on the site of an earlier Saxon fortification but this has not been confirmed. The original structure would have been a motte and bailey castle with a wooden tower. In the 12th century the wooden tower was replaced by a square stone tower, the Flag Tower. During the same century the stone gateway to the inner bailey was built. This is now known as the Agricola Tower and on its first floor is the chapel of St Mary de Castro. In the 13th century, during the reign of Henry III, the walls of an outer bailey were built, the gateway in the Agricola Tower was blocked up and residential accommodation, including a Great Hall, was built along the south wall of the inner bailey. Later in the century, during the reign of Edward I, a new gateway to the outer bailey was built. This was flanked by two half-drum towers and had a drawbridge over a moat. Further additions to the castle at this time included individual chambers for the King and Queen, a new chapel and stables. </p><p>During the Civil War Chester was held by the Royalists. The castle was assaulted by Parliamentary forces in July 1643, and in January and April 1645. Together with the rest of the city, it was besieged between September 1645 and February 1646. Following the civil war the castle was used as a prison, a court and a tax office. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cholmondeley_Castle">Cholmondeley Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cholmondeley_Castle.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Cholmondeley_Castle.jpg/250px-Cholmondeley_Castle.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="188" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Cholmondeley_Castle.jpg/375px-Cholmondeley_Castle.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Cholmondeley_Castle.jpg/500px-Cholmondeley_Castle.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="480" /></a><figcaption>Cholmondeley Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>Cholmondeley Castle is a country house in Cholmondeley, Cheshire. It is surrounded by a 7,500 acre estate. The present house was built between 1801 and 1804 by George Cholmondeley, 1st Marquess of Cholmondeley. It was designed by the local architect William Turner who was directed by the Marquess to give it the appearance of "an old Gothic Castle". In 1817–1819 turrets and towers were added to give it its present castle like appearance. An earlier house had been on the site dating from 1571. This was constructed of brick and timber framing and had been remodelled by Sir John Vanbrugh between 1713 and 1715. </p><p><br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Doddington_Castle">Doddington Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:%22Castle%22_in_Doddington_Park.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/%22Castle%22_in_Doddington_Park.jpg/250px-%22Castle%22_in_Doddington_Park.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="167" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/%22Castle%22_in_Doddington_Park.jpg/375px-%22Castle%22_in_Doddington_Park.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/%22Castle%22_in_Doddington_Park.jpg/500px-%22Castle%22_in_Doddington_Park.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="428" /></a><figcaption>Doddington Castle, also known as Delves Hall</figcaption></figure> <p>Doddington Castle, sometimes known as Delves Hall, is a fortified structure in Doddington Park to the north of Doddington Hall, Cheshire. The fortified tower was built by Sir John Delves in 1364 on the site of a former moated manor house. The tower was initially free-standing and was probably intended as a place of refuge for the family. In the 17th century it was incorporated into a range of domestic buildings which were known as Doddington Hall. In the Civil War the hall became a garrison for the parliamentary forces. It was taken for the king by John Byron, 1st Baron Byron in January 1644 but retaken shortly after. The house was demolished around 1777 and replaced by the new Doddington Hall, leaving the tower as a landscape feature which was possibly used as a gazebo or a banqueting pavilion. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Halton_Castle">Halton Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Halton_Castle.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Halton_Castle.jpg/250px-Halton_Castle.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="192" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Halton_Castle.jpg/375px-Halton_Castle.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Halton_Castle.jpg/500px-Halton_Castle.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2536" data-file-height="1944" /></a><figcaption>Part of Halton Castle ruins in 2006</figcaption></figure> <p>Halton Castle is in the former village of Halton, Cheshire which is now part of the town of Runcorn. The castle is situated on the top of Halton Hill overlooking the village. It was the seat of the Barons of Halton from the 11th century until the 14th century and it then passed to the Duchy of Lancaster. It was besieged twice in the Civil War after which its structure deteriorated. In the 18th century a new courthouse was built on the site of the previous gatehouse. The castle lies in ruins apart from the courthouse which has been converted into a public house. </p><p>Following the Norman conquest, the Barony of Halton was established by Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester. The first baron to be appointed was Nigel of Cotentin and it is almost certain that he would have built a motte and bailey castle on the site, constructing it from wood, although the excavations in 1986–87 showed no evidence of a motte and bailey structure or of a timber tower or palisade. It is most probable that during the 12th century the wooden structure was replaced by a castle built from the local sandstone although no documentary evidence of this remains. Details of the building works are obscure but it has been suggested that John of Gaunt, the 14th baron, made alterations to the castle but this again has not been confirmed by documentary evidence. When the 15th baron, Henry Bolingbroke, ascended the throne as King Henry IV, the castle became the property of the Duchy of Lancaster. </p><p>The earliest documentary evidence of building work at Halton Castle shows that during the 15th century and into the 16th century it was regularly maintained. Between 1450 and 1457 a new gate tower was built. A survey of the Royal Palaces in 1609 suggests that by then the castle had fallen into disrepair. During the Tudor period it was used less as a fortress and more as a prison, an administrative centre, and a court of law. </p><p>At the outbreak of the Civil War the castle was garrisoned by the Royalists under the command of Captain Walter Primrose who had been appointed by Earl Rivers. It was besieged by Parliamentary forces under Sir William Brereton in 1643, and the Royalists eventually surrendered after several weeks. On hearing of the approach of superior Royalist forces led by Prince Rupert, the Parliamentarians abandoned the castle and it was held again for the Royalists under Colonel Fenwick. There was a second siege in 1644 but, as the fortunes of the Royalists declined elsewhere, they withdrew from Halton and the Parliamentarians under Sir William Brereton re-occupied the castle. In 1646 a "Council of War" was held in Warrington where it was decided that the defences of the castles at Halton and Beeston Castle were to be dismantled. In time this was achieved and Halton castle was to have no further military function. By 1650 the castle was said to be "very ruinous". <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Peckforton_Castle">Peckforton Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Peckforton_Castle_1.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Peckforton_Castle_1.jpg/220px-Peckforton_Castle_1.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Peckforton_Castle_1.jpg/330px-Peckforton_Castle_1.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Peckforton_Castle_1.jpg/440px-Peckforton_Castle_1.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="480" /></a><figcaption>Peckforton Castle from the courtyard showing the hall and the round tower</figcaption></figure> <p>Peckforton Castle is a country house built in the style of a medieval castle.

Stone was obtained from a quarry about one mile to the west of the site, and a railway was built to carry the stone. The castle cost £60,000. </p><p>The castle is faced with red sandstone and has lead, asphalt and tile roofs. It is mainly in three storeys with a five-storey tower. The buildings are arranged around a ward with the principal accommodation on the north side. It is surrounded by a dry moat which is bridged at the gatehouse. To the west of the inner ward are the stables, the coach house, a rectangular bell tower and the kitchens and service area. To the north is the great hall range which consists of 18 bays. Behind the entrance to the hall is the circular main tower. At the east end of the gallery wing is the octagonal library tower. The outer walls of the castle have full-height slender turrets at the changes in direction. Corbel tables support part of the battlements. The walls contain arrow slots, and in the gatehouse is a garderobe. The flat roof has a crenellated parapet. </p><p>The castle had no formal garden, but at the bottom of the drive were kitchen gardens which included vegetable gardens, an orchard, extensive glass houses and a large orangery. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cornwall">Cornwall</h2></div> <p>There are in 14 castles in Cornwall. </p> <table class="wikitable sortable" width="100%">

However, it has been owned by the diocese for more than 800 years, being established as a hunting lodge for the Prince Bishops of Durham. It is more like a Gothic country house than a true castle with a military function. The castle is surrounded by 800 acres of parkland, which was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. </p><p>In around 1183 Bishop Pudsey established a manor house on the site. Bishop Bek, who preferred the town as his main residence over Durham Castle due to its proximity to hunting grounds, later converted the manor house into a castle. After the dis-establishment of the Church of England, at the end of the first civil war, Auckland Castle was sold to Sir Arthur Hazelrig, who demolished much of the castle, including the chapel, and built a mansion. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Barnard_Castle.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/Barnard_Castle.jpg/220px-Barnard_Castle.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="232" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/Barnard_Castle.jpg/330px-Barnard_Castle.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7c/Barnard_Castle.jpg/440px-Barnard_Castle.jpg 2x" data-file-width="606" data-file-height="640" /></a><figcaption>Barnard Castle</figcaption></figure> <p><b>Barnard Castle</b> is a ruined medieval castle situated in the town of the same name in County Durham. A stone castle was built on the site of an earlier defended position from around 1095 to 1125 by Guy de Balliol. Between 1125 and 1185 his nephew Bernard de Balliol and his son Bernard II extended the building. In 1216 the castle was besieged by Alexander II of Scotland. It was still held by the Balliol family although its ownership was disputed by the Bishops of Durham. When John Balliol was deposed as King of Scotland in 1296 the castle was passed to the Bishop of Durham. Around 1300 Edward I granted it to the Earl of Warwick. In 1477 during the Wars of the Roses, Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later Richard III) took possession of the castle, which became one of his favourite residences. </p><p>Over the next two centuries the Nevilles enlarged and improved the estate and created a substantial and impressive castle. However when Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland was attainted for his leading role in the Rising of the North the Neville estates were sequestered. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Castle_Hill_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1562486.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Castle_Hill_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1562486.jpg/220px-Castle_Hill_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1562486.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="132" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Castle_Hill_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1562486.jpg/330px-Castle_Hill_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1562486.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Castle_Hill_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1562486.jpg/440px-Castle_Hill_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1562486.jpg 2x" data-file-width="638" data-file-height="383" /></a><figcaption>Bishopton Castle in County Durham</figcaption></figure> <p><b>Bishopton Castle</b> was a medieval castle in County Durham.

<p><b>Appleby Castle</b> is in the town of Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria overlooking the River Eden. It consists of a 12th-century castle keep which is known as Caesar's tower, and a mansion house. These, together with their associated buildings, are set in a courtyard surrounded by curtain walls. The castle was founded by Ranulf le Meschin at the beginning of the 12th century. In about 1170 the square stone keep was built. The castle was in Royal hands when the Scottish King, William the Lion, invaded the Eden Valley in 1174. The constable of the castle surrendered without a fight. </p><p>In 1203 the castle was granted to Robert de Vieuxpont by King John. In 1269 it came into the possession of Roger de Clifford and it remained in the ownership of the Clifford family for nearly 400 years. The upper parts of Caesar's tower were altered in the 17th and 18th centuries. </p><p>The north wall of house and the west part of north wing with the round tower date from the 13th century. The eastern part of the house was built in 1454. The house was partly dismantled in 1648 and was restored by Lady Anne Clifford in 1651–53. The house was largely rebuilt in 1686 and the north-west wing was added in 1695. In the 19th century it was again restored and sash windows were inserted. </p><p>Caesar's tower is built in grey stone rubble and ashlar. It is about 80 ft high and has four storeys. The main house is in two wings which are at right angles to each other. A semicircular round tower protrudes from the north wall of the north wing and a large square tower is at the south end of the east wing. The gateway is in grey stone and battlemented, dating probably from the 17th century. In the grounds of the castle is Lady Anne's Bee-house, which was built by Lady Anne Clifford in the middle of the 17th century. It is a square, stone building in two storeys with a pyramid roof and a door on the lower level. The upper level has a pointed arched window on each of three sides and a door on the fourth side. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Derbyshire">Derbyshire</h2></div> <p>There are nine castles of note in Derbyshire. </p> <table class="wikitable sortable" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <th width="12%">Name<br /> </th> <th width="10%">Type<br /> </th> <th width="8%">Date<br /> </th> <th width="10%">Condition<br /> </th> <th width="10%">Ownership<br />/ Access </th> <th class="unsortable">Notes (<a href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/Key" title="Castles of England/Key">Key</a>) </th></tr> <tr> <td>Bolsover Castle </td> <td>Castle </td> <td><span style="display:none">1101</span>12–17th century </td> <td>Rebuilt </td> <td><span style="display:none">EH</span><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:EH_icon.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/EH_icon.svg/14px-EH_icon.svg.png" decoding="async" width="14" height="14" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/EH_icon.svg/21px-EH_icon.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/EH_icon.svg/28px-EH_icon.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="14" data-file-height="14" /></a></span> </td> <td>Castle rebuilt as 17th century mansion. </td></tr> <tr> <td>Codnor Castle </td> <td>Castle </td> <td><span style="display:none">1201</span>13–14th century </td> <td>Fragmentary remains </td> <td><span style="display:none">HC</span><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:CL_icon.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/CL_icon.svg/14px-CL_icon.svg.png" decoding="async" width="14" height="14" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/CL_icon.svg/21px-CL_icon.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/CL_icon.svg/28px-CL_icon.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="14" data-file-height="14" /></a></span> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Elvaston Castle </td> <td>Castellated house </td> <td><span style="display:none">1601</span>17–19th century </td> <td>Derelict </td> <td>Derbyshire County Council </td> <td>Built 1633, remodelled by James Wyatt in 19th century, now within country park.

There has been debate as to the purpose of the site - in part the fortification resembles the more northern pele towers, although alternatively the tower may have been built to give luxury accommodation overlooking the River Humber that runs nearby, similar to some properties built near King's Lynn. </p><p><br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Skipsea_Castle">Skipsea Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Skipsea_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_79788.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Skipsea_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_79788.jpg/220px-Skipsea_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_79788.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Skipsea_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_79788.jpg/330px-Skipsea_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_79788.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Skipsea_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_79788.jpg/440px-Skipsea_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_79788.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="480" /></a><figcaption>Skipsea Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>Skipsea Castle is a Norman Motte and Bailey castle located south of Bridlington. All that remains visible today are the earthworks, having been destroyed by the order of Henry III.

As a result, in 1221 William de Froz II was excommunicated and Skipsea Castle was destroyed. Eventually, William de Froz II reconciled with King Henry III in 1227.

Essex</figcaption></figure> <p>Colchester Castle's keep at 152 x 112 ft is the largest ever built in Britain and the largest surviving example in Europe. There has always been debate as to the original height of the castle. It has been suggested that the keep was at one time four storeys high, though for a number of reasons, including the peaceful region of the castle and the lack of local stone, it is now thought that it had only two or three. The castle is built on the foundations (or the podium) of the earlier Roman temple of Claudius (built between AD 54–60). These foundations, with their massive vaults, have since been uncovered and can be viewed today on a castle tour. </p><p>The castle was ordered by William the Conqueror and designed by Gundulf, Bishop of Rochester. Building began between 1069 and 1076 under the supervision of Eudo Dapifer, who became the castle's steward on its completion. Building stopped in 1080 because of a threat of Viking invasion, but the castle was completed by around 1100. Many materials, such as Roman brick and clay taken from the Roman town, were used in the building and these can easily be seen. Scaffolding pole holes and garderobes can still be seen in the structure. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hadleigh_Castle">Hadleigh Castle</h3></div> <p><span typeof="mw:File"><a

Tower of London standing upon Tower Hill in central London</figcaption></figure> <p>The Tower of London, or more properly, Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, stands on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. Construction began in 1066 shortly after the Norman invasion. The castle's common name comes from the White Tower which was built in 1078 and was seen at the time as a symbol of oppression. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under Kings Richard the Lionheart, Henry III and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site. </p><p>The Tower of London was besieged several times and controlling it has been important to controlling the country. By the time of the Tudors the Tower became used less as a royal residence, and despite attempts to refortify and repair the castle its defences lagged behind developments to deal with artillery. </p><p>The Tower was oriented with its strongest and most impressive defences overlooking London and visually dominating the surrounding area. The castle is made up of three wards or enclosures. The innermost ward contains the White Tower and is the earliest phase of the castle. Encircling it to the north, east, and west is the inner ward, built during the reign of Richard the Lionheart. Finally, there is the outer ward which encompasses the castle and was built under Edward I. Although there were several phases of expansion after William the Conqueror founded the Tower of London, the general layout has remained the same since Edward I completed his rebuild in 1285. The castle encloses an area of almost 12 acres with a further six acres around the Tower of London constituting the Tower Liberties – land under the direct influence of the castle and cleared for military reasons. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Greater_Manchester">Greater Manchester</h2></div> <p>There are two castles of note in Greater Manchester. </p> <table class="wikitable sortable" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <th width="12%">Name<br /> </th> <th width="10%">Type<br /> </th> <th width="8%">Date<br /> </th> <th width="10%">Condition<br /> </th> <th width="10%">Ownership<br />/ Access </th> <th class="unsortable">Notes (<a href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/Key" title="Castles of England/Key">Key</a>) </th></tr> <tr> <td>Buckton Castle </td> <td>Ringwork </td> <td><span style="display:none">1101</span>12th century </td> <td>Earthworks </td> <td><span style="display:none">HAL</span><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:UKAL_icon.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/UKAL_icon.svg/18px-UKAL_icon.svg.png" decoding="async" width="18" height="11" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/UKAL_icon.svg/27px-UKAL_icon.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/UKAL_icon.svg/36px-UKAL_icon.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="18" data-file-height="11" /></a></span> </td> <td>Situated on Buckton Moor, 335m above sea level, hilltop. </td></tr> <tr> <td>Radcliffe Tower </td> <td>Tower house </td> <td><span style="display:none">1403</span>1403 </td> <td>Fragment </td> <td><span style="display:none">HC</span><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:CL_icon.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/CL_icon.svg/14px-CL_icon.svg.png" decoding="async" width="14" height="14" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/CL_icon.svg/21px-CL_icon.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/CL_icon.svg/28px-CL_icon.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="14" data-file-height="14" /></a></span><br />Local authority </td> <td> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Buckton_Castle">Buckton Castle</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Buckton_Castle_defensive_ditch.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Buckton_Castle_defensive_ditch.jpg/220px-Buckton_Castle_defensive_ditch.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Buckton_Castle_defensive_ditch.jpg/330px-Buckton_Castle_defensive_ditch.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Buckton_Castle_defensive_ditch.jpg/440px-Buckton_Castle_defensive_ditch.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2848" data-file-height="2136" /></a><figcaption>A view of the surviving defensive ditch around the site of Buckton Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>Buckton Castle is a medieval enclosure castle near Carrbrook, Stalybridge. The castle is oval, with a 3m wide stone curtain wall surrounded by a 10m wide, 6m deep ditch. It is uncertain who built the castle, but it may have been constructed for the early of Chester in the 12th century; it was lying derelict by 1360 when it was first mentioned in historical sources. The small number of finds retrieved during archaeological investigation of the site indicates that Buckton Castle may not have been completed. </p><p>The castle stands 335m above sea level on Buckton Hill, a steep sandstone ridge. The castle's positioning may have been to allow its garrison to guard the Tame Valley; both castle and valley were in the medieval manor of Tintwistle. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Plan_of_Buckton_Castle_by_George_Ormerod.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Plan_of_Buckton_Castle_by_George_Ormerod.JPG/220px-Plan_of_Buckton_Castle_by_George_Ormerod.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="233" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Plan_of_Buckton_Castle_by_George_Ormerod.JPG/330px-Plan_of_Buckton_Castle_by_George_Ormerod.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Plan_of_Buckton_Castle_by_George_Ormerod.JPG/440px-Plan_of_Buckton_Castle_by_George_Ormerod.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1444" data-file-height="1528" /></a><figcaption>This plan was drawn by George Ormerod in 1817; it shows the shape of the castle, with orientation. He did not include any internal features.</figcaption></figure> <p>The entrance to the ringwork is to the northwest of the site. On the south-facing side of the site are the remains of a stone curtain wall. The north-west entrance was protected by a stone gatehouse; the wall thickness suggests the tower was probably two storeys high. </p><p>The interior of the castle is artificially raised 1.5m above ground level. According to a 1360 survey of property in Longdendale, Buckton Castle may have had a hall and a chapel. In the 18th century, antiquarian Thomas Percival recorded a well within the castle, and walls of buildings inside the castle still standing to a height of 2m. However, these features were no longer obvious when Ormerod wrote about the castle in 1817, and have not been discovered by archaeological excavations. </p><p>The castle is now overgrown with heather and peat, and there are no above-ground ruins. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Radcliffe_Tower">Radcliffe Tower</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Radcliffe_tower_engraving.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/Radcliffe_tower_engraving.png/220px-Radcliffe_tower_engraving.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="154" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/Radcliffe_tower_engraving.png/330px-Radcliffe_tower_engraving.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/Radcliffe_tower_engraving.png/440px-Radcliffe_tower_engraving.png 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="419" /></a><figcaption>The tower in the early nineteenth century with the manor house on the right prior to its demolition.</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Radcliffe_tower_hdr.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Radcliffe_tower_hdr.jpg/220px-Radcliffe_tower_hdr.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Radcliffe_tower_hdr.jpg/330px-Radcliffe_tower_hdr.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Radcliffe_tower_hdr.jpg/440px-Radcliffe_tower_hdr.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3522" data-file-height="2348" /></a><figcaption>The standing remains of Radcliffe Tower</figcaption></figure> <p>Radcliffe Tower is the only surviving part of a manor house in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester.

De Radcliffe was given a royal licence to fortify the site including adding crenellations and battlements. </p><p>The manor house was demolished in the 19th century leaving only the tower.

The tower was originally entered at first floor level by an external stair on the south side.

The site may have been occupied in pre-Roman times. The existence of a ruined wall suggests that there was a building there in late Roman times. The Jutes may have taken over the fort by the late 7th century. An Anglo-Saxon stronghold occupied the site during the 8th century. Around 1000, a wall was built around the hill as a defence against Viking raids. </p><p>From 1100 The castle remained in the possession of Richard de Redvers' family, and over the next two hundred years his descendants improved the castle with stone walls, towers and a keep. This was until 1293, when Countess Isabella de Fortibus, the last Redvers resident sold it to Edward I, after which the government was entrusted to wardens as representatives of the crown. In the reign of Richard II it was unsuccessfully attacked by the French. The keep was added to the castle in the reign of Henry I, and in the reign of Elizabeth I; when the Spanish Armada was expected, it was surrounded by an elaborate pentagonal fortification by Sir George Carey. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Carisbrooke_Castle_14th_century.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/Carisbrooke_Castle_14th_century.jpg/220px-Carisbrooke_Castle_14th_century.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="219" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/Carisbrooke_Castle_14th_century.jpg/330px-Carisbrooke_Castle_14th_century.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/Carisbrooke_Castle_14th_century.jpg/440px-Carisbrooke_Castle_14th_century.jpg 2x" data-file-width="960" data-file-height="957" /></a><figcaption>A model of Carisbooke Castle as it appeared during the 14th century</figcaption></figure> <p>Carisbrooke was the strongest castle on the Island; though it is visible from some distance, it does not dominate the countryside like many other castles. </p><p>There are traces of a Roman fort underneath the later buildings. Seventy-one steps lead up to the keep; the reward is a fine view. In the centre of the castle enclosure are the domestic buildings; these are mostly of the 13th century, with upper parts of the 16th century. Some are in ruins, but the main rooms were used as the official residence of the Governor of the Isle of Wight until the 1940s, and they remain in good repair. </p><p>The Great Hall, Great Chamber and several smaller rooms are open to the public, and an upper room houses the Isle of Wight Museum. Most rooms are partly furnished, but on the whole it is the fireplaces and other features of the rooms themselves which generate the most interest. The gateway tower was erected by Lord Scales who was lord of the castle at the time in 1464. </p><p>The chapel is located next to the main gate. Within the walls is a well 200 feet deep and another in the centre of the keep is reputed to have been still deeper. Near the domestic buildings is the well-house with a donkey wheel. </p><p>Surrounding the whole castle are large earthworks, designed by the Italian Federigo Gianibelli, and begun in the year before the Spanish Armada. They were finished in the 1590s. The outer gate has the date 1598 and the arms of Queen Elizabeth I. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Norris_Castle">Norris Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Norris_Castle_-_East_Cowes_-_geograph.org.uk_-_545339.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Norris_Castle_-_East_Cowes_-_geograph.org.uk_-_545339.jpg/220px-Norris_Castle_-_East_Cowes_-_geograph.org.uk_-_545339.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Norris_Castle_-_East_Cowes_-_geograph.org.uk_-_545339.jpg/330px-Norris_Castle_-_East_Cowes_-_geograph.org.uk_-_545339.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Norris_Castle_-_East_Cowes_-_geograph.org.uk_-_545339.jpg/440px-Norris_Castle_-_East_Cowes_-_geograph.org.uk_-_545339.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="480" /></a><figcaption>Norris Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>Norris Castle stands on the northeast point of East Cowes.

Originally the castle consisted only of an octagonal tower. This had become disused by 1700, and it became known as "Mockbeggar Hall", a term often used for an ornate but derelict building. In 1821 ownership passed to the Cust family, who refurbished and extended the building, using panelling from the demolished Star Chamber at the Palace of Westminster as well as oak from the submerged forest along the coast. <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Norfolk">Norfolk</h2></div> <table class="wikitable sortable" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <th

/></a><figcaption>Twizell Castle</figcaption></figure> <p><b>Twizell Castle</b> stands on a bend of the River Till at Tillmouth Park, Northumberland. Below it, the medieval Twizell bridge spans the river. The gardens of the castle contain the earthwork remains of the once lost medieval village of Twizell, whilst the massive ruin presents the remains of an 18th century castle which was never completed. </p><p>A medieval tower house which once stood on the site was, in 1415, held by Sir John Heron. This was destroyed by the Scots in 1496, and the estate was sold by the Herons circa 1520 to a member of the Selby family. A survey in 1561 reported only the remnants of a tower house and a barmkin. Of the medieval structure, blocked windows, a chamfered doorway and the original north-east angle quoins are all that remains visible now. </p><p>In 1685 Sir Francis Blake purchased the estate from the widow Selby for £1,944, plus an annuity of £100, and the Blake family lived on the estate until 1738 when they moved to nearby Tillmouth Hall. From about 1770, he worked on the recreation of the castle as a Gothic Revival mansion, designed by architect James Nesbit of Kelso to be five levels tall. Despite some forty years of work, the project was never completed. When in 1882, the Blake's built a new mansion at Tillmouth Park much of the incomplete Twizell Castle was demolished and the stone used in the new construction. The house is now a two-story folly. Rectangular in plan, with circular towers on the angles and two wings on the north side, the basement rooms in the main block are stone and brick-vaulted as a precaution against fire. </p> <div

Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>Farnham Castle was built in 1138 by Henri de Blois, grandson of William the Conqueror,. The castle was to become the home of the Bishops of Winchester for over 800 years. The original building was demolished by Henry II in 1155 after the Anarchy and then rebuilt in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The castle was slighted again after the Civil War in 1648. Since then more buildings have been constructed in the castle's grounds, the most impressive being those built by Bishop George Morley in the 17th century. </p><p>The architecture reflects changing styles through the ages, making it one of the most important historical buildings in the south of England. It is an impressive stone motte and bailey fortress, which has been in continuous occupation since the 12th century. The large motte was formed around the massive foundations of a Norman tower and then totally enclosed by a shell-keep, with buttress turrets and a shallow gatehouse. Attached to the motte is a triangular inner bailey, with a fine range of domestic buildings and a fifteenth century brick entrance tower. The formidable outer bailey curtain wall has square flanking towers, a 13th century gatehouse and a large ditch. </p><p><br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Guildford_Castle">Guildford Castle</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Guildford_castle_1.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Guildford_castle_1.jpg/220px-Guildford_castle_1.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Guildford_castle_1.jpg/330px-Guildford_castle_1.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Guildford_castle_1.jpg/440px-Guildford_castle_1.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3072" data-file-height="2304" /></a><figcaption>Guildford Castle</figcaption></figure> <p>Guildford Castle in Surrey is thought to have been built shortly after the Norman Conquest. There is no record of it in the Domesday Book so construction probably started after 1086. </p><p>First to be built at the Castle would have been the motte around which was a ditch and a bailey protected by a wooden palisade. If it followed a typical Norman design the bailey would have been divided with a palisade and have been divided into an inner and outer bailey. The inner baily would have encompassed the motte on which a wooden keep would have been built as a look-out post for the soldiers stationed there. </p><p>In the late 11th or early 12th century, a wall made of Bargate stone was built around the top of the motte creating a shell keep, and then around the 1130s a keep was added, again made of Bargate stone bonded with hard and durable mortar. The keep may have been built over part of the shell keep an its foundations went down to the chalk bedrock. The general form was quadrangular, its exterior dimensions being 47ft by 45.5ft. The walls are about 10ft thick at the base and taper towards the top. </p><p>The keep's entrance was located on the first floor to aid in defence. The ground floor was windowless. On the first floor there was a Great Chamber, a chapel, and wardrobe with latrine. A second floor was added shortly afterwards containing a two-seater latrine. The addition of the second floor made the keep over 70ft high. The roof of the building was made of lead and the inner walls were covered in plaster and then whitewashed. </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> <br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading

The castle stands on an outcrop of Wenlock Group limestone. Local legend states that a wooden castle was constructed on the site in the 8th century by a Saxon lord called Dud or Dado. However this legend is not taken seriously by historians, who usually date the castle from soon after the Norman Conquest of 1066. It is thought one of the Conqueror's followers, Ansculf de Picquigny, built the first castle in 1070 and that his son, William Fitz-Ansculf, was in possession of the castle when it was recorded at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086. Some of the earthworks from this castle, notably the 'motte', the vast mound on which the present castle keep now sits, still remain. </p><p>After Fitz-Ansculf, the castle came into the possession of the Paganel family, who built the first stone castle on the site. This castle was strong enough to withstand a siege in 1153 by the forces of King Stephen. However, after Gervase Paganel joined a failed rebellion against King Henry II in 1173 the castle was demolished by order of the king. The Somery's were the next dynasty to own the site and set about building the castle in stone starting in the second half of the 13th century and continuing on into the 14th. The keep (the most obvious part of the castle when viewed from the town) and the main gate dates from this re-building. A chapel and great hall were also constructed. </p><p>Starting around 1540, a range of new buildings were erected within the older castle walls. The architect was William Sharington and the buildings are thus usually referred to as Sharrington Range. </p><p>The castle became a Royalist stronghold during the English Civil War, and was besieged twice before its surrender to Cromwell's forces in 1646. The first siege in 1644 was lifted after the Royalists sent a relief force which drove away the Parliamentarians. In 1646 Sir William Brereton commanded the Parliamentarians in the second siege against the Royalists led by Colonel Leveson. The castle was surrendered on 13th May 1646. Parliament subsequently ordered that the castle be partly demolished and the present ruined appearance of the keep result from this decision. </p><p>A stable block was constructed on the site at some point before 1700. This was the final building to be constructed in the castle. The bulk of the remaining habitable parts of the castle was destroyed by fire in 1750. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="West_Yorkshire">West Yorkshire</h2></div> <p>There are five

Square on plan, of good coursed rubble, it contains three stories beneath the parapet. This is carried on two courses of individual corbels. The crenellations seem to have been renewed. </p><p>The door at ground floor level is in the west wall and admits to a vaulted basement, which does not communicate with the upper stories. The first floor, also vaulted, is reached via a modern forestair. The flooring above has been altered. The windows are small, and there are signs of built-up gun-loops in the walling. The fabric throughout is in fair condition. This tower is thought to have been part of the courtyard-type Caldwell Castle. Rubble, possibly from demolished ancillary buildings has been noted at the site. </p><p>Ainslie's map of 1775 indicates a 'pigeon house' or 'doocot' at the position of the tower, indicating a later use of this castle remnant. Some indications of the tower being a focal point of the pleasure gardens, linked to a belvedere have been suggested. The 1832 map of Renfrewshire by John Thomson shows the tower clearly and marks it as 'Bacon H.' suggesting that it was then in use as a pigsty or such-like. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hartlebury_Castle">Hartlebury Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Hartlebury_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_419175.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Hartlebury_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_419175.jpg/220px-Hartlebury_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_419175.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Hartlebury_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_419175.jpg/330px-Hartlebury_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_419175.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Hartlebury_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_419175.jpg/440px-Hartlebury_Castle_-_geograph.org.uk_-_419175.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="428" /></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <p>Hartlebury Castle was built in the mid-13th century as a fortified manor house on land given to the Bishop of Worcester by King Burgred of Mercia. From the early 13th century until 2007, Hartlebury Castle was the residence of the bishop of Worcester. </p><p>Bishop Walter de Cantilupe, a supporter of Simon de Montfort, began to fortify the Castle, which was embattled and finished by his successor, Godfrey Giffard, 1268. The gate-house was added in the reign of Henry VI by Bishop Carpenter. </p><p>In 1646 during the Civil War Hartlebury Castle was strongly fortified and held for King Charles I by Captain Sandys and Lord Windsor, with 120 foot soldiers and 20 horse, and had provisions for twelve months. When summoned by Colonel Morgan for the Parliament, it surrendered in two days without firing a shot. The Castle was slighted and the Parliamentary Commissioners seized the Castle and manor, and sold them to Thomas Westrowe for £3133 6s. 8d. At the Restoration they were given back to the Bishop of Worcester. </p><p><br style="clear:both;" /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Holt_Castle">Holt Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Holt_castle_850843_62546082.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Holt_castle_850843_62546082.jpg/220px-Holt_castle_850843_62546082.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Holt_castle_850843_62546082.jpg/330px-Holt_castle_850843_62546082.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Holt_castle_850843_62546082.jpg/440px-Holt_castle_850843_62546082.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="480" /></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <p>Work began on Holt Castle in the 13th century during the Welsh Wars. The castle was sited on the Welsh-English border by the banks of the River Dee. </p><p>In the medieval period, the five-towered fortress was actually known as <i>Castrum Leonis</i> or <i>Castle Lyons</i> because it had a Lion motif carved into the stonework above its main gate. In the 17th century, almost all the stonework was removed from the site; only the base of the sandstone foundation remain. </p><p>The castle was built from local sandstone on top of a 12m high promontory. It was shaped like a pentagon with towers at each corner. The castle had a stepped ramp up to a main gateway, barbican, inner ward, postern and curtain walls. There was also a water-filled moat that was fed from the River Dee. The design of the castle featured towers that were built against the face of the rock outside the curtain wall, similar to the inner wards at Ruthin Castle and at Conwy Castle. </p><p>Holt castle was started by Edward I on a sandstone base next to the River Dee soon after the invasion of North Wales in 1277. In 1282 Edward I presented the Welsh lands in which Holt was situated to loyal lord John de Warrene, who was also given the task of completing the castle. By 1311 the castle had been finished and a planned town laid out next to it for the use by English settlers. </p><p>A century later, Welsh forces burned down the town in 1400 during the uprising of Owain Glyndŵr; although the castle was not taken. By the 16th century Holt Castle had fallen disuse and ruin. </p><p>In 1643, during the English Civil War Holt was garrisoned by Royalists troops. Three years later, after holding out for a year during a second siege, Holt became the last castle to be captured by Parliamentarian forces in north-east Wales. Holt Castle was slighted in 1650 to stop it being used as a fortification by any royalist supporters. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Worcester_Castle">Worcester Castle</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Edgar_Tower,_Worcester_-_geograph.org.uk_-_503034.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/The_Edgar_Tower%2C_Worcester_-_geograph.org.uk_-_503034.jpg/220px-The_Edgar_Tower%2C_Worcester_-_geograph.org.uk_-_503034.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="144" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/The_Edgar_Tower%2C_Worcester_-_geograph.org.uk_-_503034.jpg/330px-The_Edgar_Tower%2C_Worcester_-_geograph.org.uk_-_503034.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/The_Edgar_Tower%2C_Worcester_-_geograph.org.uk_-_503034.jpg/440px-The_Edgar_Tower%2C_Worcester_-_geograph.org.uk_-_503034.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="420" /></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <p>Worcester Castle was a Norman fortification built between 1068 and 1069 in Worcester, England by Urse d'Abetot on behalf of William the Conqueror. The castle had a motte-and-bailey design and was located on the south side of the old Anglo-Saxon city, cutting into the grounds of Worcester Cathedral. Royal castles were owned by the king and maintained on his behalf by an appointed constable. At Worcester that role was passed down through the local Beauchamp family on a hereditary basis, giving them permanent control of the castle and considerable power within the city. The castle played an important part in the wars of the 12th and early 13th century, including the Anarchy and the First Barons' War. </p><p>In 1217, Henry III's government decided to break the power of the Beauchamps and reduce the ongoing military threat posed by the castle by returning much of the castle's bailey to the cathedral. Without an intact bailey the castle was no longer valuable militarily, although it played a small part in the Second Barons' War in the 1260s. A gaol had been built in the castle by the early 13th century and the castle continued to be used as Worcestershire's county gaol until the 19th century, when a new prison was built on the north side of Worcester and the old site completely redeveloped. Today nothing remains of Worcester Castle with the exception of Edgar's Tower, a cathedral gatehouse built on the former entrance to the castle. </p><p><br /> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading1"><h1 id="Appendix:_Time_Line">Appendix: Time Line</h1></div> <p>This chapter shows the time line of castle design against historical events. </p> <div class="timeline-wrapper"><map name="timeline_4bq6311lq2wejks8oe2e6bog6wyy7q7"><area shape="rect" href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/Later_History_of_Castles" coords="647,714,750,735" title="Castles of England/Later History of Castles" alt="Castles of England/Later History of Castles" /><area shape="rect" href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/Tudor_Castles" coords="419,568,522,589" title="Castles of England/Tudor Castles" alt="Castles of England/Tudor Castles" /><area shape="rect" href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/Baronial_War_Castles" coords="260,422,402,443" title="Castles of England/Baronial War Castles" alt="Castles of England/Baronial War Castles" /><area shape="rect" href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/Civil_War_Castles" coords="145,276,270,297" title="Castles of England/Civil War Castles" alt="Castles of England/Civil War Castles" /><area shape="rect" href="/wiki/Castles_of_England/Norman_Castles" coords="77,130,185,151" title="Castles of England/Norman Castles" alt="Castles of England/Norman Castles" /></map><img usemap="#timeline_4bq6311lq2wejks8oe2e6bog6wyy7q7" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/en/timeline/4bq6311lq2wejks8oe2e6bog6wyy7q7.png" /></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading1"><h1 id="Appendix:_Glossary">Appendix: Glossary</h1></div> <table id="toc" class="toc noprint" summary="Contents"> <tbody><tr> <th>Contents </th></tr> <tr> <td><div style="text-align:left;"> <a href="#A">A</a> <a href="#B">B</a> <a href="#C">C</a> <a href="#D">D</a> <a href="#E">E</a> <a href="#F">F</a> <a href="#G">G</a> <a href="#H">H</a> <a href="#I">I</a> <a href="#J">J</a> <a href="#K">K</a> <a href="#L">L</a> <a href="#M">M</a> <a href="#N">N</a> <a href="#O">O</a> <a href="#P">P</a> <a href="#Q">Q</a> <a href="#R">R</a> <a href="#S">S</a> <a href="#T">T</a> <a href="#U">U</a> <a href="#V">V</a> <a href="#W">W</a> <a href="#X">X</a> <a href="#Y">Y</a> <a href="#Z">Z</a> <br /> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="A-C">A-C</h2></div> <dl><dt>Arrow loop</dt> <dd><div id="Arrow_loop"></div>A vertical slit for a bowman to fire through.

PREAMBLE</h2></div> <p>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others. </p><p>This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software. </p><p>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="1._APPLICABILITY_AND_DEFINITIONS">1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</h2></div> <p>This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law. </p><p>A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language. </p><p>A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. </p><p>The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none. </p><p>The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. </p><p>A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". </p><p>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only. </p><p>The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. </p><p>The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies of the Document to the public. </p><p>A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition. </p><p>The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="2._VERBATIM_COPYING">2. VERBATIM COPYING</h2></div> <p>You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. </p><p>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="3._COPYING_IN_QUANTITY">3. COPYING IN QUANTITY</h2></div> <p>If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. </p><p>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. </p><p>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. </p><p>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="4._MODIFICATIONS">4. MODIFICATIONS</h2></div> <p>You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: </p> <ol type="A"> <li>Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.</li> <li>List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.</li> <li>State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.</li> <li>Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.</li> <li>Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.</li> <li>Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.</li> <li>Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.</li> <li>Include an unaltered copy of this License.</li> <li>Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.</li> <li>Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.</li> <li>For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.</li> <li>Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles.

These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. </p><p>You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard. </p><p>You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. </p><p>The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="5._COMBINING_DOCUMENTS">5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS</h2></div> <p>You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. </p><p>The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. </p><p>In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="6._COLLECTIONS_OF_DOCUMENTS">6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS</h2></div> <p>You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. </p><p>You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="7._AGGREGATION_WITH_INDEPENDENT_WORKS">7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS</h2></div> <p>A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document. </p><p>If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="8._TRANSLATION">8. TRANSLATION</h2></div> <p>Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. </p><p>If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="9._TERMINATION">9. TERMINATION</h2></div> <p>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. </p><p>However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. </p><p>Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice. </p><p>Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not give you any rights to use it. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="10._FUTURE_REVISIONS_OF_THIS_LICENSE">10.

See <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/">http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/</a>. </p><p>Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Document. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="11._RELICENSING">11.
