SS4792 : The north range at Weobley
near to Oldwalls, Swansea/Abertawe, Great Britain

The north range at Weobley
The castle consists of four ranges around a small courtyard, with the main rooms at first-floor level. The south range is largely ruined and the buildings on the south-east where probably never even completed. The castle was built by the de la Bere family during the 1300s, with David de la Bere the probable founder early in the century. A second stage of construction added the accommodation within this north range, which included a hall, solar and kitchen, together with the porch seen here. This was the work of Sir Rhys Thomas around 1500. Further extensions seem to have been planned but never carried out. By the C16 the castle had degenerated into a tenant farm.
