Summary
| Description |
English: Remains of John o Gaunt's Castle John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster (alive from 1340 to 1399) was the third surviving son of King Edward III of England. He gained his name "John of Gaunt" because he was born in Ghent (in today's Belgium), then called Gaunt in English. His descendants include Kings Edward IV, Richard III, and Henry Tudor.
These humble walls and the trench of what was once a moat are all that remains of the ancient building known as 'John o' Gaunt's Castle'. Whilst grandly named, the castle was more of a forest lodge, for the residence of the park-keeper and his assistant forest rangers; strong enough to repel the attacks of any band of outlaws which might harbour in the forest. Although small in size, it probably played host to King Edward II at some time around the year 1323. |
