Ten Castles of Radnor Lordship, 1066 to 1304 by Paul Martin Remfry

Myriad of small castles

Ten Castles of the Radnor Lordship is the first work to attempt to define the myriad of small castles that apparently pertained to all the major castles in the Marches.

Medieval surveys

The work commences with an introduction concerning the known history and Medieval surveys of these ten sites, Barland motte and bailey, Burfa motte and bailey, Womaston motte and bailey, Castell Nimble ringwork and bailey, Old Radnor ringwork, Evenjobb motte and baileys, Knapp Farm motte, Kinnerton motte and bailey and finally Newcastle motte.

Fortification of Radnor Borough

There is then a discussion of the development and fortification of Radnor Borough and several suggestions as to its early origin. This is followed by the descriptions of the castles and their little known history. As ever, the text is buttressed with plans, photographs and maps.

British Castles Series

The first of the British Castles Series to be home-published was Clun Castle in 1994. This was a successful comprehensive history based solely on original Anglo-Welsh manuscripts. Since this 32 more followed making up the present collection in the British Castles Series. Professionals and individuals find them useful for their research and interest purposes in medieval history, archaeology, genealogy, and family and local history.
