The keep is all that remains of the castle, which was built c.1207-12 in the reign of King John. It is the only octagonal keep in England. It is almost wholly of flint although some diagonal brickwork and stone is visible in the last picture. Thin buttresses. Three stories high, clear in picture from west. |
