Title: Re: which castle Post by: waltonbasinman on April 29, 2012, 10:08:57 PM which castle is this then :D,,,,,,its in herefordshire so it aint that hard to guess ;D ;D Hell Paul if my memory serves me correctly there are 50 plus castles in Herefordshire if not more. Any chance of a clue. Just out of the blue the ones I can think of near you are Dorstone, Clifford, Castleton, Eardisley, Almeley, Bredwardine, Moccas, Newton, Evan Gwynne for a start.Title: Re: which castle Post by: nfl on April 30, 2012, 09:49:39 AM o.k this castle is in the wye valley and is a spitting distance from a small town and in our {me and walton basonman}local area......
Title: Re: which castle Post by: Da Monkey on April 30, 2012, 10:13:32 AM Not Wobbly (Weobley) castle then ?
Title: Re: which castle Post by: nfl on April 30, 2012, 10:56:31 AM i,ll let the cat out of the bag.........KINGTON castle
Title: Re: which castle Post by: Da Monkey on April 30, 2012, 11:53:45 AM Didn't get that one LOL!
Title: Re: which castle Post by: The Doc on April 30, 2012, 05:13:50 PM Sorry Peter I just can't fathom out where your castle is ??? Sorry, I should have given some clues, there are a lot of castles around!! It's Candleston Castle. What about this one? Title: Re: which castle Post by: Da Monkey on April 30, 2012, 05:37:28 PM Now that one I can do... Longtown Doc :)
Here's the inside view and the view looking up from the ground level at the upper class bedroom privvy opening, must have been a bit drafty... wouldn't have been a good idea to hang around that part of the castle to long... Title: Re: which castle Post by: The Doc on April 30, 2012, 06:15:16 PM Now that one I can do... Longtown Doc :) Here's the inside view and the view looking up from the ground level at the upper class bedroom privvy opening, must have been a bit drafty... wouldn't have been a good idea to hang around that part of the castle to long... Well done Da Monkey - that was a bit quick! Title: Re: which castle Post by: waltonbasinman on April 30, 2012, 07:46:56 PM i,ll let the cat out of the bag.........KINGTON castle Is that the Kington Castle that moved 500 yards ( and no one knows why ) between the First detailed OS sheets and the second detailed OS map. Would never have got it Paul.Title: Re: which castle Post by: nfl on May 01, 2012, 01:20:15 PM i think some of these old os maps arnt very accurate paul ,,,a example is that i tect 1 farm {which granted has a lot of medi history and finds }and on the first os maps it says in 1 field {CASTLE SITE OF} but there aint 1 there and never has been apart from on the early os map.
Title: Re: which castle Post by: waltonbasinman on May 01, 2012, 09:36:33 PM A lot of moated sites were refered to as castles paul. HA,s guess is that over 40% of these from documentation have disappeared from the record. Found a new Motte and Bailey and A Moated Court Site In One parish alone recently.
Title: Re: which castle Post by: archie on May 02, 2012, 11:42:03 AM i think some of these old os maps arnt very accurate paul ,,,a example is that i tect 1 farm {which granted has a lot of medi history and finds }and on the first os maps it says in 1 field {CASTLE SITE OF} but there aint 1 there and never has been apart from on the early os map. I detected on a supposed castle site (shown on the new OS maps), turns out it was a hill and ditch earthwork, that had been plowed flat over the hundreds of years, so much so, that it dont exist now :). still managed to find bronze age pieces though ;) |
