Nunney Castle

Nunney Castle is a late 14th-century moated tower-keep in Nunney, Somerset, built by Sir John Delamare and remodelled in the late 16th century. The castle retains its four large round corner towers and central stone tower-keep but was damaged in the English Civil War and is now a ruin managed by English Heritage.

As it stood in 1590

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact rectangular stone tower-keep set within a full water-filled moat, built of pale Lias Oolite ashlar. Each of the four corners is occupied by a massive cylindrical tower with conical roofs and a continuous machicolated parapet; the keep rises three storeys with narrow slit windows at lower levels and larger upper windows added in the 16th-century remodelling. A modest entrance is reached by a timber drawbridge across the moat, and a low bailey wall encloses the outer edge of the site.
