Tsutsutsutsu
Now a small village on the edge of Dartmoor, Lindford was a burger of the late Saxon Times. The situation is in the foothills overlooking the River Lyd, with steep falls on all sides except one. Rampert protects the level approach
Lindford's first castle was the ring job at the west corner of the fort, now known as the Norman Citadel. It has not been used for a long time, and the current Lindford Castle stands nearby, and the parish church occupies the space between them.
At first glance, the castle appears to be the motto and Bailey's tomb. However, this is an illusion, as the Tenshu was built first, and the Earth was piling up around its lower part to emulate the Motto. Also, it is doubtful if this building can be regarded as a keep in the normal sense. A strong house for prisoners was built in 1195 and "keep" was identified with it.
Furthermore, there is the complexity that only the ground floor is original and the upper floors are added after the building gap. The masonry isn't quite refined, it's a tough tower, and it seems to add weight to prison theory. By the time the building resumed, the square keep was rather outdated in any case. Internally, there is nothing to suggest that this tower is not a normal keep, but there are a lot of changes later. But the cross wall is rebuilding.
Despite the circumstances in which it was built, the castle then served primarily as a court and prison. This was inevitable because Lindford was the administrative center of Dartmoor Forest and the local tin mine. These provided significant income for the crown.
Lumley Castle
Lumley Castle is one of the best examples of a fully developed square castle with a range of buildings in every aspect, despite later remodeling. Bolton Castle is the best known northern example, and Lumley looks a lot like that. It has the same attention to the same rectangular corner tower, tower house with its own right, and inside the courtyard as well as outside defense. While Bolton is largely ruined, however, when Ramley comes down to us as it is, it is simply hurting by some eighteenth-century changes.
The castle stands on the high ground, a mile east of Chester-le-Street. , Suddenly drops into a stream known as Ramley Beck. Ralph, Lord Ramley received permission to crenellate his home here with the permission of the Bishop, 1389, which is being reinforced by the Royal License three years later. Diamond-Butres holds the angle of the tower, a feature of military architecture that was rarely seen in other buildings at the time, and was acceptable for each buttress.
The original entrance to the castle is in the middle of the east front, looking down at the flow and returning to the current approach. It is not the gate way in the middle of the range, but rather exactly the door. The wide machicolation overhangs the outer arch and top wall are adorned with a six heraldic shield and helm display. The Shield describes Lumleys with prominent local families such as Nevilles and Percys, but Richard II's weapons are proud. Below the square turret adjacent to the gateway is a small prison cell that can only be reached by the trapdoor. In a typical northern style, the ground floor and connection range of the tower is divided into a series of barrel-shaped arched store rooms.
