Description: | This watercolour is of the remains of a once magnificent Elizabethan mansion. Torksey castle still stands, precariously, on the east bank of the Trent river in Linconshire. It was once home to the Jermyn family and later became a stronghold for the Parliamentarians during the civil war, being attacked and virtually destroyed in 1645. An imposing structure of limestone and brick, Torksey was built on the site of a Norman motte and bailey. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Buckler, John | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
