Lincoln Castle
The castle and the cathedral face each other across the hill from the Norman era. Lincoln Castle rose to the southwest quarter of the fort by the orders of William Conqueror in 1068. The site was formerly dense-the book on Domesday tells us that 166 homes were destroyed for the castle. The stone wall is mentioned as early as 1115, and Henry I is considered to be so.
The high curtain, still as it is but frequently patched up centuries later, holds a piece of herringbone masonry to confirm its early Norman date. It is on the earth's wall that surrounds the big, nearly square Bailey standing. A rare feature is the presence of two mottes rather than one, both at the southern end of Bailey. Because they seem to threaten each other from a defensive point of view. The big Mott is crowned by the keeping of the polygonal shell known as the Lucy Tower, apparently later with Norman addition and perhaps of Empress Matilda
A small motto carries a so-called astronomical observatory, an early Norman structure extended to the 14th century and capped with a Victorian turret. Cobb-hole, adjacent to the fragile northeast corner of the horseshoe plan tower wall circuit, 1217 Improvements to the defensives made after a failed siege by Dauphin-Louis supporters in the year.
There are two gate houses. The West Gate is a simple Norman Gate Tower, now blocked. East Gate revisited in the 14th century with corbelled up high out gate arches and round turret high up. The barbican foundation can be seen before, but the extension of the gate courtyard is another Victorian decoration. It incorporates the Oriel window from the medieval house of the city.
Leicester Castle
Leicester was born as a Latine in Rome and occupied by the Danish as one of their five boroughs, and subsequently they became Leicester's sheriff after the conquest of Hane-De-Grantmesnil Norman following Danelaw's British reconquest And he probably established a castle instead of a king.
There is nothing left of Leicester's Roman and medieval town walls. Furthermore, the castle survives only as a number of isolated fragments. It stood beside the river. The castle's garden marks the site of Bailey inside, and the truncated Norman Mott can still be seen there. Although Bailey's defense has been destroyed, there are two interesting domestic survivals.
The 17th century facade of the Courthouse hides the remarkable Norman Hall. It was originally divided into walkways by two rows of wooden columns, but only the carved capital remains, and the building suffers from later divisions.
The adjacent church of St. Mary-de-Castro was first established by Robert-de-Beaumont as a university establishment about 1107, and a very luxurious castle chapel and a piece of elaborate Norman work heavy Victorian Survive the restoration of The church stood in its own ground and entered through the surviving wooden gate.
Henry, the blind cape of Lancaster, expanded the castle in the 1330s. He added a large outer court known as Newarke, which encloses a religious complex comparable to the Lower District of Windsor Castle. The center of this complex was the second large church . This will no longer survive, but the Trinity Hospital is still in use as an almshouse, maintaining the chapel and infhirmary arcade. The two gatehouses nearby are the only remnants of defense, both of the legacy of the rebuilding program under King Lancastria. The turret gate, a simple ruin, led from Newarke to the inner Bailey.
