Originally a roman fort existed here, built in AD 54. It was used and
rebuilt four times over he next several hundred years until the Romans
pulled out of Britain. Then it was in ruins until the Normans
conquered and rebuilt over it in 1069. Then it was kept up and passed
down for several hundred years, getting old again. In the 1800s it was
expanded, renovated, renewed, refurbished, and recreated as a home for
a very wealthy marquess. The roman walls are still visible. Amazing.
