Description: | View of the ruins of Caistor Castle in Norfolk. This 15th-century 'castle' was built for a prominent aristocratic family, the Falstophs. In this impressive residence there were 26 rooms. The brick castle also had several defensive features: a moat; outer and inner courtyards; rounded towers; arrow slits and, later, gunports. It was successfully besieged by the Duke of Norfolk in 1469, and passed to the Paston family who occupied it for the next century. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | JP Neale | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Pollard, R | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
