Wigmore Castle
According to the book of Domesday, this was one of the bases established by Earl William Fitz Osbern of Hereford. Immediately after the castle is given to Ralph de Mortimer. Henry II Captured the castle from Hugh-de-Mortimer in 1155 and here it is that Prince Edward got his escape next escape from Helenford Castle in 1265
The most notorious Roger * Mortimer in the line was Edward II's first nephew, which played a major role in sedimentation and homicide. In coordination with his lover, Queen Isabella, Mortimer ruled England for three years until defeated by Young Edward III. He was given to Salisbury's nephew who died in a gallow in Thaiburn and Wigmore, but Mordimers recovered their land and title through marriage. They served the distinction during the centenary war, but in 1425 Mortimer Line died, and the castle died more or less with them.
The castle is now very unstable, its walls are growing and buried in rubble, and threatens to collapse further unless essential work is done. Now the ruins are excavated and integrated So, Wigmore will be a castle of considerable interest, but now there is only an atmosphere of devastation. It is a home of powerfully landed, motte and Bailey with many masonry still standing. The oval shell incorporates a part of Norman keeping a big motto, but all the other stonework belongs to the reconstruction of about 1300, probably three towers on the line of Bailey Curtain, two There are two ovals and half a round. The largest tower contains a suite of rooms, divided by the cross wall. Notice the gatehouse arches, half buried in the Earth's accumulation.
Wolmer Castle
Walmer Castle is the most south of the Three Henry's coastal forts that protected its protected strait, Downs lying between the coast and the Goodwin Sands. It was originally connected by earthen and at the same time stands a mile from the contract castle built. In principle it is similar to a deal, but it is easy to design. It consists of a squat cylindrical tower closely surrounded by a lower curtain, the latter projecting outwards with four semicircular lobes to form a four-leaf plan. It was a plan that was shared by Sandown Castle, a member of the group's northern part, and is now almost completely destroyed.
Walmer's Castle stands throughout, but in contrast to most of the other Henshire's forts, and in contrast to it, it has matured by converting to a strict stately home. In 1708, the military-redundant castle became the residence of the lord of Cinque Harbor, a medieval office that has survived to this day as an honor sinecure.
The transformation to a mansion is even more surprising, given the low, curved, very thick walls that can not easily be loaned for such purposes. A fine garden now surrounds the castle and erodes its deep stone ditch, but many of the gun's crests are converted to windows.
When first built, Walmer exhibited the usual Henlian defensive clearance. The cannon would have been attached to the central tower and outer curtain balustrade, the third layer of fire is provided at the ditch level by the gun port at the curtain. The ports of these guns are Linked, as at the time of contract, by the Wall Combat Continuous Combat Gallery. The central tower provided the main accommodation for the governor and the garrison. The leaves, including the entrance, were enhanced to provide further accommodation in the 1860s.
