TL3212 : Hertford Castle Gatehouse
Hertford, Hertfordshire, Great Britain

Hertford Castle Gatehouse
Many people think this is the castle, but it is infact the Gatehouse to the castle. It was built in 1461-5 but was much altered in the 18th century. Between 1789 and 1792 the Earl of Hillsborough had a south wing added and the gateway changed into an entrance hall where a porch and door was added, as the pictures shows. The Earl had married into the Cecil family who owned the castle. Apart from this Gatehouse, the only surviving parts of the castle are the motte and some of the flint curtain wall.
