Old Wardour Castle, Donhead St Andrew, Wiltshire
In 1393 a licence to crenellate was granted to a John, 5th Lord Lovel of Titchmarsh. He built an hexagonal castle within a bailey. The castle was then 'modernised' in the 1570s (Tudor period) for Sir Matthew Arundell. The castle was partly destroyed during Civil War sieges in 1643 and 1644. It was replaced 1770-1776 when the 8th Lord Arundell built a 'new' Wardour Castle, the largest Georgian house in Wiltshire. The old castle bailey was also laid out as pleasure gardens. This site is now in the care of English Heritage (2010).
