I have got a question about this castle. The article says that during the Civl War it was badly damaged, but, do you know who it belongs to?
During the English Civil War, in 1649, it was damaged by Parliamentary forces to stop it being used as a military stronghold by the Royalists. King Charles I had inherited it in 1612 but granted it to Robert Carey, Earl of Monmouth, in 1626. It belongs to English Heritage now.
