More about this scene
Only the 15th-century brick gatehouse to the castle survives. In December 1216, the castle was besieged and captured by the army of the French Dauphin. Later it became a gaol for royal prisoners, who included Margaret of Anjou, wife of King Henry VI, King David II of Scotland and King John of France. It became the residence of the Marquis of Devonshire in the late 1880s. Much of the grounds and garden walls were restored in 1912, and the walks were opened to the public.
