Nunney Castle
Nunney Castle was built in the late 14th century by Sir John Delamare on the profits of his involvement in the Hundred Years War. The moated castle’s architectural style is possibly influenced by the design of Medieval French castles.
Delamare had been a soldier during the Hundred Years War against France, where he had made his fortune. He obtained a licence from Edward III to build a castle on the site of his existing, unfortified manor house in 1373.
Nunney Castle Design
The resulting castle centred on a stone tower-keep is 60 feet by 24 feet (18 m by 7 m) wide and 54 feet (16 m) tall, with four round corner-towers.The tower-keep had eight-foot (2.4 m) thick walls made from Lias Oolite ashlar stone. There are three floors in the keep. The castle is surrounded by a moat across which the castle is entered over a draw bridge.
