More about this scene
The first castle at Manorbier was probably a motte and bailey erected by Odo de Barri. The castle underwent large-scale remodelling and extension over a 50-year period during the 13th century, much of the work being commissioned by John de Barri. The earliest remains in stone are a hall and a small tower, both of which date from the 12th century. A famous resident from the 12th century was Gerald de Barri, born here in 1146, and better known to us as Giraldus Cambrensis, the author of the 'Itinerary of Wales'.
