12th Century Castle Ruin
William de Curci rebuilt the castle in the 12th century. The castle’s importance steadily declined and in the 15th century it was being used as an administration centre - by the 17th century was being used as a farm. The towers have been dated to the 12thcentury, the gate house cottage was built soon after 1600. The present building was acquired by the Landmark Trust in 1981 and they have restored the gatehouse cottage, the building now being rented as holiday accommodation.
