Walmer, Castle 1892

More about this scene
Along with Deal and Sandown, Walmer was one of the 'Three Castles which keep the Downs'. It was built in 1539-40 with a central circular keep around which were added four semi-circular bastion towers. The gatehouse was equipped with a portcullis and drawbridge, and close defence was provided by murder-holes. Walmer was subsequently modified and converted into the official residence of the Lords Warden of the Cinque Ports - the towns of Hastings, Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich - which were originally responsible for the defence of the Channel. The castellation was added during modifications in 1874.
