As a capital mansion it was very pleasantly situated ; but, consideredas a fortress, the choice of its situation reflects little .jjudgment on itsconstructor, it being commanded from the park much within thedistance to which the ancient battering machines would carry. It wasnevertheless used as a place of strength, as its guard room, still shewn,sufficiently testifies. Part of the buildings are now inhabited. Thepark which stands on its west side is finely wooded; in it is a watch towerof ancient fashion, deemed coeval with the Castle. This view shews nearly the south side of the building fronting towardsthe Severn. This Castle and Manor is the property of the repre-sentatives of the late Mrs. Tyrwhitt, who died possessed thereof.
