The castle was built by the Peverel Family in the 12th century. It became crown property after William Peveral fled to exile in 1155. A stone keep was built in 1173 surrounded by a curtain wall, this was breached in 1216 during the reign of King John, it was then left to ruin. The castle was brought by Sir George Talbot in 1553 it was sold on again in 1608 to Charles Cavendish and he set about re building it. It was finished in 1621. During the Civil War it was taken over by the Parliamentarians and once again left to get in a ruinous state. William Cavendish then built a new hall and staterooms; by the time of his death in 1676 the castle was once again in good order.Community & Resources
