Castle ruins. C12 chapel. North-east gateway of early C14, the rest C15 and
later. On the south side the present entrance is through the south wall of the
former King's Lodging of 1631-5 on the site of the former great hall and solar, of
which portions remain. To west the motte is crowned by a folly keep of early C19
known as Julius's tower. To east is the South Tower, actually 2 adjoining towers of
circa 1442-50. The curtain wall extends north-east to a small tower and to the
North Tower beyond, built circa 1450 and terminating with the North-East Gateway,
known as John of Gaunt's Gateway, a fabric on early C14 with C15 towers. In the
bailey stand the remains of the Norman chapel. The castle, which for long has been
the property of the Duchy of Lancaster, was founded by Henry de Ferrers. Mary Queen
of Scots was confined here on several occasions.
