Stafford Castle
Stafford Castle is a medieval motte-and-bailey site west of the town of Stafford in Staffordshire, England, long associated with the Anglo-Norman Stafford family. The stone keep built from the 14th century survived in altered form until its demolition in the 17th century and was partly rebuilt in the early 19th century; excavations and a visitor centre were established in the late 20th century. The site is a prominent mound (motte) with the standing ruins of a large rectangular keep.

As it stood in 1450
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched atop a steep grassy motte, the castle in its prime is dominated by a large rectangular stone keep built of warm-buff to pink sandstone, with a rounded tower at each corner and an additional projecting tower in the middle of the north wall. Thick curtain-like outer walls rise directly from the summit, punctured by narrow vertical window openings and a few larger arched openings; the roofline is broken by ruined tower tops and crenellated parapets. The mound is encircled by a bank and a visitor path at the foot.
