England is dotted with castles. Some are mere ruins, but others stand today as a proud as they did when they were built there several hundred years. They come in many shapes and sizes, have seen battles and sieges and witnesses of acts of bravery and cowardice and treason.
Castles are a part of English culture and allow us to imagine how life was lived at the time of knights and ladies. The oldest remaining castle dating from Norman times, where men of William the Conqueror in need of protection against the English, they had so recently defeated. Some were simple defensive fortresses, houses further developed.
But life in a castle has never been comfortable. Imagine living in a long English winter in wet one of the big stone guard with no glass in the windows or running water, only candlelight to see, and no heating, but a fireplace strategically placed in the center of the cavernous room. But still, we managed the couple fell in love, children are born and have spent with the leaders for years. What remains today are beautifully constructed buildings, beautiful monuments to architects and craftsmen who built them, and memories to those who made their home there.
Castles are often atop a hill overlooking the countryside below. This has the advantage of a lord see an enemy approaching and be able to prepare for battle. To increase security, many of them had moats around them filled water or detestable creatures to discourage an army more time to prepare.
During the 15th century, many castles were destroyed or seriously damaged badly in the Wars of the Roses. Gunpowder had recently appeared on the battlefields of Europe and then castles that have stood with seats for hundreds of years, they were not proof against cannon fire. Many were lost during those turbulent years and those who remained to give us the ruins of the castle's picturesque English countryside is so famous.
Much castles that remain today are the responsibility of the National Assembly Heritage Trust or English and make an excellent day visiting England. Many were made in a place where visitors can experience the past and see what they felt they had lived during this time. It will certainly change your outlook on modern life today.
