Ashby Castle
Ashby-de-ka-Zouche takes its name from the Zouche family, who died in 1399. In 1464, Ashby was one of the property granted to William, Lord Hastings, as a reward for his services to Edward IV. Hastings held Sir Chamberlain's office, and in 1474 he acquired a license to crenellate his home with Ashby and Kirby * Maxlow.
During the Civil War, Henry-Hastings fortified the castle with earthen redoubts and turned it to the county's chiefist of the royalist resistance. The garrison endure throughout the year of the siege, before it surrendered in honor of 1646. The Hastings Tower was downplayed by parliamentary orders but the rest of the castle remained inhabited in the eighteenth century. That's all ruined now.
Before the Lord Hastings, there was only a manor house here, which was a great match for the position of Zouches. Hastings made the old building the heart of his home. They are sandwiched between the sun and the wings of butter and pantry and form an area centered on the late Norman Hall. There is also a shuttle service at this hotel. Fort Hastings modernized these buildings and broadened the scope by adding fine vertical style chapels.
Under the license of Krenellato, built curtains around the manor house and raised a huge square tower named after his name. Curtains were not a very frightening obstacle, but only some survive, but Hastings Tower is still impressive. It is one of the best examples of late medieval tower houses and offers its owners a dignified and secure residence. It stands isolated from a manored building facing them across the courtyard. The tower is built on a very fine stone masonry.
Arrington Castle
Arrington Castle stands next to the Medway River about a mile north of Maidstone. This beautiful, moated castle seems perfect but perfection is conceived in modern times.
Henry II destroyed Norman Castle after the 1173-74 revolt. The low hill just southwest of the present castle represents the Motto, and some Herringbone masonry looks like a curtain facing it. Other than that, Sir Stephen * De * Penchester, Dover Castle's constable and Lord Qudenport's Warden built the existing structure. He obtained a license for crenellate in 1291 and the former survives.
His castle is a feature of the Edwardian era, but it is not uncompromised without compromising like a modern castle in Wales. The design reflects the rectangular layout that was growing in popularity, but the rear is curved with a gentle curve and the distribution of towers is quite irregular.
Five D-type towers sizes are from curtains or other from different projects. The Solomon's Tower is the largest in the south corner and can be considered the early tower house. There is also a Kadokura lined with simple, semicircular turrets.
Several ruins of Barbican survive across the moat. The southwestern side of the th courtyard, known as the Penchester Wing, may incorporate a slightly older lord's manor. However, once the castle was built, the main apartment still existed, but the majority stood against the rebuilt hall. The only fifteenth century porch is real.
In 1492, Arrington was granted to Sir Henry Wyatt in recognition of his allegiance to Henry VII. He divided the courtyard into two unequal parts and upgraded the castle by building a narrow area. The upper floor forms a long gallery. The picturesque half-timbered house in a small enclosure is from the Wyatt era.
