Lost Castles of Medieval England | History Is Ours
4When one thinks of medieval England, one of the first images that enters our mind is that of a castle: a great stone citadel that dominates the landscape with its vast walled battlements, lofty towers, drawbridge, and moat. However, there is a remarkable history of medieval fortifications which have mysteriously all but disappeared – they were the timber castles.
Existing throughout much of the Middle Ages, timber rather than stone castles were the dominant fortifications of their period. Rather than small and temporary, timber castles were large, permanent, and dotted the English countryside. Lords and Ladies built them, communities lived in them, and battles were fought over them; yet today only mounds of earth remain. This intriguing programme seeks to uncover the mystery of the lost castles of England.
