Download an Illustrated History of Norwich Castle HISTORY OF NORWICH CASTLE ROYAL PALACE (1066-1345): THE HOME OF NORMAN KINGS HISTORY OF NORWICH CASTLE (1066-1345) PAGE 1 A CASTLE FIT FOR A KING In 1066 the Normans successfully invaded England under William the Conqueror’s rule. To exert their new- found power and dominance, and to defend themselves against rebellion as they continued to advance across the country, they began to build castles, and lots of them. Within a few years of the Conquest the landscape of Norwich would change forever. As early as 1067, work began on the first of two phases involved in the construction of Norwich Castle. Based on the motte- and-bailey design, a timber keep or ‘donjons’ was erected on top of a mound of earth or ‘motte’, which had been expanded from an existing hill, chosen for its proximity to the river. The impact on Anglo-Saxon Norwich was vast, with the Domesday Book of 1086 indicating that 98 houses were demolished to make way for the structure. Did you know? Some of the walls of the Castle Keep are up to three metres thick! Towards the end of the 11th century, work began on the second phase: to replace the timber Keep with a royal palace made from Caen stone shipped from Normandy and transported to Norwich, most likely through the waterways from Great Yarmouth. Land acquired in 1094 enabled the construction of a cathedral concurrently with the castle, creating two powerhouses which would come to rule Norwich and its people. HISTORY OF NORWICH CASTLE (1066-1345) PAGE 2 Over time, the mound was widened to accommodate the colossal near-square fortress (29 x 27 metres) and its defences expanded to the south and north-east, the latter known as Castle Meadow. The upper bailey supporting the Keep reached c.2.3 acres, making it the largest man-made motte in England, which it remains to this day. The Castle complex continued to grow and its boundaries are thought to have stretched to some 9.3 hectares (23 acres). This area was known as the Castle Fee. Castle Rising, King’s Lynn Norwich was the third royal castle to be erected from stone, after the White Tower in London and Colchester Castle. It was started and completed under the reign of William the Conqueror’s successors, his two sons William Rufus and Henry I. Recent research of existing architecture in the Keep suggests an initial construction date of 1110, with building work resumed in 1120 to prepare for a royal visit from Henry for his crown-wearing ceremony in 1121. This palatial residence has been described as “architecturally the most ambitious secular building in western Europe” and is thought to be the influence for the design of other fortifications, such as Castle Rising near King’s Lynn and Falaise Castle in Normandy, France. Norwich Castle was designed to impress. Based on mathematical principles, the Keep was an architectural marvel; a show of Norman supremacy and outstanding craftsmanship but also functional as a palace to be lived in. HISTORY OF NORWICH CASTLE (1066-1345) PAGE 3 Unlike the majority of other fortifications, Norwich was a royal holding, and required a representative of the king, a constable, to oversee it. When the Castle was still a timber tower, this position was awarded to William the Conqueror’s loyal friend, William FitzOsbern. In 1075, the role was passed to Ralph Guader, Earl of East Anglia, who married FitzOsbern’s daughter, Emma. At the wedding, the new constable conspired to rebel against the king, which led to a three-month long siege. Ralph fled to Brittany, leaving sixteen-year-old Emma to defend the Castle until her surrender. The layout of the stone Keep was similar to its wooden predecessor, consisting of two main floors, with living spaces in the upper and storage in the lower. The only entrance, open to the elements, was via an external staircase on the east side of the Keep. Visitors would ascend to the ‘forebuilding’, a type of waiting area, before entering. Known as the Bigod Tower, it takes its name from the Bigod family of earls, many of whom had been constables of the Castle, albeit rebellious ones. It was under Hugh Bigod that the Castle was besieged a second time in 1173 by Flemish invaders. The Castle fell once more in 1216 to Prince Louis of France and many believe the fire from the attack left behind traces of pink seen under the Bigod Tower today. The Bigod Arch today. As shown here, the carvings would have originally been brightly coloured. Creating a sense of anticipation before entering the Keep, visitors waited for an invitation to proceed through the ‘Bigod Arch’, a highly-decorated carved entrance painted in rich vibrant colours. Surviving to this day, it was executed with great skill and depicted mythological imagery, including the winged horse Pegasus and a dragon. The interior of the Keep was divided into two halves by a spine wall running east to west, with the Great Hall occupying one half and a series of rooms, including the King’s Chamber and the Chapel, in the other. HISTORY OF NORWICH CASTLE (1066-1345) PAGE 4 The opulent Great Hall was an enormous space (17m long and 11m wide) for entertaining guests. Used only by the constable or the king, it had a Minstrels’ Gallery above for musicians and performers. Access throughout the Keep was via spiral staircases, enabling supplies to be transported from the ground floor to supply the festivities above. There was also a passageway set within the walls above the first floor so that servants could tend to all areas of the Keep. It was also used for patrolling soldiers guarding the perimeter, and is now colloquially termed ‘the Fighting Gallery’. Norwich became an increasingly significant stronghold and by the end of the 12th century it was one of the largest cities in England, comparable in size to London. The Castle was the nucleus for the county’s business and served as the administrative centre for East Anglia. This marked the Castle’s heyday, but that was soon to change. HISTORY OF NORWICH CASTLE PRISON (1345-1887): OVER 500 YEARS AS THE COUNTY GAOL HISTORY OF NORWICH CASTLE (1345-1887) PAGE 1 FROM SPLENDOUR TO SQUALOR By the mid-14th century, Norwich Castle had gone from riches to rags. No longer a royal residence, it now served as the County Gaol, confining local and state prisoners within its walls. In 1345, King Edward III transferred ownership of the land to the south of the Castle mound from the Crown to the City. Once home to a wide range of artisans, from swordsmiths to shoemakers, residents were now able to settle there. As a result, the once untouchable fortress became the target of thieves. Its defensive ditches were filled with rubbish and its baileys were quarried. Norwich itself was booming and continued to flourish throughout the medieval period. Its wealth, largely attributable to the international trade of wool and leather, subsidised the development of more housing for an ever-growing population. By the 15th century, Norwich had seen the construction of its city walls, boasting 12 gates and 40 towers, its largest church, St Peter Mancroft, its government building, the Guildhall, and a merchant’s trading hall, now known as Dragon Hall. As the City continued to prosper, the Castle was left to deteriorate. HISTORY OF NORWICH CASTLE (1345-1887) PAGE 2 From the 16th century, the County Gaol was supplemented by a building known as the ‘Shirehouse’ or Shirehall, located on the north side of the Castle Keep. It was here that prisoners were put on trial in the ‘Quarter Sessions’, courts held four times a year. By the early 1700s, the Keep was a ruin: a large open roofless shell from which prisoners were escaping. Although the repairs, alterations and additions over the next few decades did much to impress the prison reformer John Howard in 1777, the County Gaol was declared unfit for accommodating prisoners in 1785. Did you know? Henry Kable and Susannah Holmes were imprisoned at Norwich Castle in 1783 for housebreaking and theft. Their son Henry Kable Jr. was born in the gaol in 1786. Two years later, the family was transported to Australia, where Henry and Susannah were among the first English couples to be married there. Members of the Kable family still visit Norwich Castle today to see the home of their ancestors. A REFORMED CASTLE By this point, Norwich Castle was well-established as a symbol of authority, but its walls were bursting at the seams. A major transformation was needed. In addition to the need for more space, the re-modelled prison needed to fulfil three further requirements as a result of prison reform; security, a healthy environment, and separation of the sexes and different types of prisoner. This complex brief was offered to William Blackburn, an architect with numerous prison transformations under his belt. But time was of the essence, and an approach from another architect who offered his designs for free was too good to turn down. Sir John Soane (knighted in 1831) studied at the Royal Academy and trained under George Dance the Younger. Soane had worked on national projects, such as the Bank of England, but also several local buildings, including a house for one of the prison magistrates, Robert Fellowes, in Norfolk. His portfolio even stretched to prison design, but the County Gaol in Norwich would be the first to be constructed in his name. From 1789 to 1794, the Castle mound was a hive of activity as buildings, such as the Governor’s House, were demolished to make way for Soane’s new edifice, fiercely HISTORY OF NORWICH CASTLE (1345-1887) PAGE 3 signposted ‘THE COUNTY GAOL’.

  • The Early Effects of Gunpowder on Fortress Design: a Lasting Impact
    The Early Effects of Gunpowder on Fortress Design: A Lasting Impact MATTHEW BAILEY COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS The introduction of gunpowder did not immediately transform the battlefields of Europe. Designers of fortifications only had to respond to the destructive threats of siege warfare, and witnessing the technical failures of early gunpowder weaponry would hardly have convinced a European magnate to bolster his defenses. This essay follows the advancement of gunpowder tactics in late medieval and early Renaissance Europe. In particular, it focuses on Edward III’s employment of primitive ordnance during the Hundred Years’ War, the role of artillery in the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, and the organizational challenges of effectively implementing gunpowder as late as the end of the fifteenth century. This essay also seeks to illustrate the nature of the development of fortification in response to the emerging threat of gunpowder siege weaponry, including the architectural theories of the early Renaissance Italians, Henry VIII’s English artillery forts of the mid-sixteenth century, and the evolution of the angle bastion. The article concludes with a short discussion of the longevity and lasting relevance of the fortification technologies developed during the late medieval and early Renaissance eras. The castle was an inseparable component of medieval warfare. Since Duke William of Normandy’s 1066 conquest of Anglo-Saxon England, the construction of castles had become the earmark of medieval territorial expansion. These fortifications were not simply stone squares with round towers adorning the corners. Edward I’s massive castle building program in Wales, for example, resulted in fortifications so visually disparate that one might assume they were from different time periods.1 Medieval engineers had built upon castle technology for centuries by 1500, and the introduction of gunpowder weaponry to the battlefields of Europe foreshadowed a revision of the basics of fortress design.

  • Gloucestershire Castles
    Gloucestershire Archives Take One Castle Gloucestershire Castles The first castles in Gloucestershire were built soon after the Norman invasion of 1066. After the Battle of Hastings, the Normans had an urgent need to consolidate the land they had conquered and at the same time provide a secure political and military base to control the country. Castles were an ideal way to do this as not only did they secure newly won lands in military terms (acting as bases for troops and supply bases), they also served as a visible reminder to the local population of the ever-present power and threat of force of their new overlords. Early castles were usually one of three types; a ringwork, a motte or a motte & bailey; A Ringwork was a simple oval or circular earthwork formed of a ditch and bank. A motte was an artificially raised earthwork (made by piling up turf and soil) with a flat top on which was built a wooden tower or ‘keep’ and a protective palisade. A motte & bailey was a combination of a motte with a bailey or walled enclosure that usually but not always enclosed the motte. The keep was the strongest and securest part of a castle and was usually the main place of residence of the lord of the castle, although this changed over time. The name has a complex origin and stems from the Middle English term ‘kype’, meaning basket or cask, after the structure of the early keeps (which resembled tubes). The name ‘keep’ was only used from the 1500s onwards and the contemporary medieval term was ‘donjon’ (an apparent French corruption of the Latin dominarium) although turris, turris castri or magna turris (tower, castle tower and great tower respectively) were also used.

  • 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.

August 2018 Joseph Wallis The foundry at the west end of the High Street was built by Joseph Wallis C1792 on land owned by the Winnock Charity as an adjunct to his ironmongery business and under various owners itremained in operation until 1920. His home was at no 5 North Hill which has most attractive cast iron balconies and a foliated tie plate dated to 1809. His most celebrated work are the set of cast iron columns from 1819 that support the colonnade of the Essex Fire Office in the High Street. The iron clad wall plate would also have been cast by his foundry. His was also responsible for the very beautiful castings of the Royal Coat of Arms to be found in some churches in the area as well as the Castle Museum. He died in 1827.

Richard Coleman The Richard Coleman foundry was started at the Hythe in 1807 although he already had retail premises in Wyre Street and a warehouse. As iron and coal came by river to the Hythe it was cheaper and easier to build there and Wallis also built a foundry nearby in 1810.
