| 説明 | The impressive ruins of Moreton Corbet Castle are the product of over five hundred years of building. The original fortified house of about 1100, probably built of timber, was replaced in stone about 1200, and the Corbet family ambitiously remodelled the building in the 16th century. A castle was first established in about 1100 by the Torets, a family of Saxon descent. It passed by marriage after 1239 into the hands of the Corbets, who gave their name to the village. In the 16th century the castle was extensively remodelled in two phases. First, Sir Andrew Corbet (d.1578) erected a two-storey range between the medieval great tower and gatehouse. Sir Andrew also built a new east range, a section of which was dismantled later when his eldest son, Robert, inherited the castle.In the 18th century the castle was abandoned as a residence, and it soon became roofless. Plans were drawn up in 1796 to build a new house on the site, but the project was never realised and the castle remained a ruin. The Corbet family still owns the castle today, although the site is managed by English Heritage.All my photos and images are copyrighted to me although you are welcome to use them for non commercial purposes as long as you give credit to myself.Thank you for looking at my photographs and for any comments it is much appreciated.www.jimroberts.co.ukwww.flickriver.com/photos/jimborobbo/popular-interesting/ |
