Ruined castle. C12, C13, C14 and C15. Ashlar and rubble. Large
rectangular keep of 1170s standing to its full height, divided to form Hall
and Great Chamber on the first floor, formerly with an external staircase
approach. Late C13 chapel annexe. Curtain wall of C12 and C13, with
irregularly-shaped angle towers, including a round tower on south-west known
as the Prince's Tower. C14 gatehouse to north-east with diagonal turrets,

Middleham Castle, according to tradition in the Prince's Tower. Later,
Nevill property reverted to the Crown. VCH, i, pp 251-5. Scheduled as an
