  • A Short History of Colchester Castle
    Colchester Borough Council Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service A SHORT HISTORY OF COLCHESTER CASTLE 1066, the defeat of the English by the invading army of Duke William of Normandy. After his victory at the Battle of Hastings, William strengthened his hold on the defeated English by ordering castles to be built throughout the country. Colchester was chosen for its port and its important military position controlling the southern access to East Anglia. In 1076 work began on Colchester Castle, the first royal stone castle to be built by William in England. The castle was built around the ruins of the colossal Temple of Claudius using the Roman temple vaults as its base, parts of which can be seen to this day. As a result the castle is the largest ever built by the Normans. It was constructed mainly of building material from Colchester's Roman ruins with some imported stone. Most of the red brick in the castle was taken from Roman buildings. England, William's newly won possession, was soon under threat from another invader, King Cnut of Denmark. The castle had only been built to first floor level when it had to be hastily strengthened with battlements. The invasion never came and work resumed on the castle which was finally completed to three or four storeys in 1125. The castle came under attack in 1216 when it was besieged for three months and eventually captured by King John after he broke his agreement with the rebellious nobles (Magna Carta). By 1350, however, its military importance had declined and the building was mainly used as a prison.

Copies of our letter were sent to all the local authorities in Suffolk and in the adjoining counties of Cambridgeshire, Essex and Norfolk, to the National and County Associations of Local Councils, to the Members of Parliament with constituency interests and to the headquarters of the main political parties. In addition copies were sent to those government departments, regional health authorities, water and port authorities, electricity and gas boards that might have an interest, as well as to British Telecom, the English Tourist Board, the local government press and to local television and radio stations serving the area. 2. The County Councils were requested, in cooperation as necessary with the other authorities, to assist us in publicising the start of the review by inserting a notice for two successive weeks in local newspapers in order to give a wide coverage in the area concerned.

Hon. Patrick Jenkin MP Secretary of State for the Environment 1. In a letter dated 15 February 1982, Braintree District Council requested us to propose changes in two places to the boundary of their district with the Borough of Colchester and the Borough of Chalmsford. The request arose out of Braintree District Council's parish review. One of the changes recommended to us arose from a suggestion by Peering Parish Council and involved the transfer of four houses and a farm from the parishes of Marks Tey and Copford in the Borough of Colchester to the parish of Peering in the District of Braintree. The other recommended change arose originally as a suggestion by Hatfield Peverel Parish Council and would result in the transfer of one property in Damases Lane in Hatfield Feverel in the District of Braintree to the parish of Boreham in the Borough of Chelmsford. 2. Colchester Borough Council and the parishes of Marks Tey and Copford had no objections to the suggested Marks Tey and Copford/Feering change. Chelmsford Borough Council and Boreham Parish Council had no objections to the suggested Hatfield Peverel/ Boreham change, Essex County Council had no objections to either of the suggested boundary changes. 3. We considered.Braintree District Council's request as required by section 48(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, having regard to DOE Circular 33/78 and to our own Report No.
