Fire beacons at Kendal Castle in Cumbria. Kendal Castle was originally a late 12th century earth ringwork and bailey fortress, founded by Gilbert fitz Reinfred. In the early 13th century, William de Lancaster founded the stone castle, when encasing the ringwork with a curtain wall. In 1383, it became the possession of the Parrs and in 1571 the ruinous and abandoned castle passed by exchange to the crown.
