  • Chepstow Castle
    Great Archaeological Sites in Monmouthshire 5. CHEPSTOW CASTLE High on the cliff above the River Wye is Chepstow castle (ST 5333 9411) founded, as Domesday Book tells us, by one of William the Conqueror’s closest friends, William fitz Osbern Earl of Hereford. The splendid Norman keep, known as the Great Tower, is the earliest surviving stone building in South Wales, and may have been commissioned by the Conqueror himself. Decorative bands of Roman tile built into the walls show that at least some of the materials used into its construction were scavenged from centuries-old Roman buildings somewhere in the neighbourhood, perhaps from Caerwent. We do not know any more about the ground plan of the Norman castle. It will have had at least one bailey, but the fortifications of the middle and upper baileys which now stand on either side of the Great Tower were built by William Marshal Earl of Pembroke, the greatest military man in England at the end of the 12th century, after he received Chepstow as part of his wife’s inheritance. He also built the outer bailey. In the outer bailey wall is the main gate-house. It was given state-of-the art round towers, and there were two more built into the middle bailey wall. The original doors of the main gatehouse – the oldest doors in Europe – still survive, although they have been moved to where they can be better protected. The upper bailey at the rear of the castle only had a small postern gate, and it was the marshal’s sons who strengthened the defences on this side in the first half of the 13th century by building a barbican.

The keep at Bridgnorth Castle, leans at 17 degrees, three times further than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The first castle in Britain to be designed specifically for defense by guns was Ravenscraig Castle located in Scotland. Built in 1460.

  • Starter Activities
    Gloucestershire Archives Take One Castle GLOUCESTERSHIRE ARCHIVES TAKE ONE CASTLE - PRIMARY TEACHERS’ NOTES INTRODUCTION This resource is intended to allow teachers to use the Gloucester Castle accounts roll in an inspiring, cross-curricular way. It is based on the National Gallery’s Take One Picture programme (see: www.takeonepicture.org.uk), which promotes the use of one picture as a rich and accessible source for cross-curricular learning. The Take One approach follows three stages: imagination, evidence and pupil-led learning. The Take One model was adopted for the use of archive documents by Gloucestershire Archives after the Take One Prisoner project funded by the MLA (Museums, Libraries & Archives) Council. ABOUT THE DOCUMENT The Gloucester castle account roll (Gloucestershire Archives Reference: D4431/2/56/1) is a list of the financial expenditure on the castle that was undertaken by the King’s Custodian of Gloucester castle, Sir Roger de Clifford, from December 1263 to March 1266. It was compiled by de Clifford as a record of the expenditure he undertook to strengthen the castle and its defences as ordered by Prince Edward when he was present in the castle in March 1262. This roll is an original document that was part of the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps, a 19th century antiquary of Gloucestershire and which is now held at Gloucestershire Archives. Gloucestershire Archives Take One Castle A transcript in English was created in 1976 by Mrs M Watson of Painswick and is also held at Gloucestershire Archives under the reference GMS 152. There exists a shorter duplicate copy of the roll (which omits the names and details of the building works), that was created by a government official in the Crown’s Exchequer soon after the original had been written.

  • South-East Wales Itinerary: Follow the Story of the Lords of the Southern March
    South-east Wales itinerary: follow the story of the Lords of the Southern March The Lords of the Southern March played a vital – but changing – part in the history of Wales following the Norman Conquest. You can follow the story of the start of the conquest of south Wales and the struggle to maintain supremacy at a cluster of Cadw sites. The first castle to be built by the Normans in Wales, Chepstow, the nearby Tintern Abbey, and Monmouth Castle were powerful statements of intent to subdue and stabilise Wales. The three castles of Grosmont, White and Skenfrith were built in the Monnow Valley to control the route between Hereford and Monmouth. Discover how together the sites formed part of a robust boundary between Norman Tintern Abbey England and the Welsh kingdoms and explore the development of a different culture and society as a frontier land. Just 13 minutes drive from Chepstow you’ll find Tintern Abbey, the best-preserved medieval abbey in Wales. Founded by Marcher Lord Walter de Clare as a spiritual base for the Norman lords on the England Wales border, Tintern was only the second Cistercian foundation in Britain. The present-day remains are a mixture of building works covering a 400-year period between 1131 and 1536 until the abbey was surrendered to King Henry VIII’s officials. Very little remains of the first buildings but you can marvel at the vast windows and later decorative details displayed in the walls, doorways and soaring archways. If you’re feeling energetic, take a strenuous uphill walk to the ‘Devil’s Pulpit’ for a wonderful bird’s eye view of this great Gothic abbey.

  • Chepstow Castle
    Chepstow Castle Information for education group leaders Chepstow Castle is one of many built to secure the border with Wales and took advantage of a naturally defended position. Its substantial defences and domestic buildings provide clear evidence of the various roles of castles in the medieval period and how they were adapted for later use and occupation. A visit will support the development of historical skills and enquiry at all Key Stages. History The twin-towered gatehouse The castle was established by William fitz Osbern, a loyal guarding the entrance to supporter of William the Conqueror. The great tower was the castle. the first stone structure built, incorporating masonry from the nearby Roman town at Caerwent. In 1189 the castle passed to William Marshal who used his knowledge of advanced castle technology in the Holy Land to fortify Chepstow. Each of his five sons inherited and they continued to improve the castle. On the death of the last son, the castle passed to the Bigod family. In 1270 Roger Bigod II converted the castle into a palatial stronghold, building an extensive range of buildings in the lower bailey. In 1507, Charles Somerset became lord of Chepstow. A favourite of Henry VII and Henry VIII, he built a suite of apartments on either side of the wall dividing the lower and middle baileys. He also improved other buildings, adding new, larger windows and fireplaces. In the Civil War, the castle was twice taken by Parliamentarians. Afterwards, its fortifications were repaired and modified to take cannon, and gun loops were added for musket fire.
