Castles of Britain

Castles have played a significant role in British history ever since the Conquest of England by William the Conqueror in 1066. In post-conquest England they were built in large numbers and this spread into Scotland, Wales and Ireland as Anglo-Norman influence increased. It continued until the 17th century and the Wars of the Three Kingdoms after which many castle were slighted to render them indefensible. Whilst their military significance has declined, their domination of the British landscape continues.

The building of the first unfortified great houses took place in the Tudor period and over the next five hundred years the country house has evolved.
