View from the south-west. The Manners family received their "licence to crenellate" the castle from Edward III in 1342, which was surely welcome, given that warlike Scots were only 10 km away to the north. The remains of a curtain wall that enclosed a courtyard can just be seen. Grade-I listed: LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) .
