Tamworth Castle
Tamworth Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle on a raised mound overlooking the mouth of the River Anker where it joins the Tame, in the town of Tamworth, Staffordshire. Originally a Mercian royal site, it was refortified by the Normans and remodelled in stone across medieval and early-modern periods; surviving fabric includes a stone shell keep with a 12th-century gate tower, medieval ranges and a timbered Great Hall. It is a Grade I listed building and a public museum.

As it stood in 1619
The shape it held in its prime.
Set on a motte above the town, the castle is a compact stone shell keep with a prominent 12th-century gate tower facing the market-place and a raised causeway leading up to it. Within the shell are multi-storey residential ranges in an H-plan: a 13th-century three-storey north range and a 17th-century Jacobean three-storey south range linked by an oak-timbered 15th-century Great Hall; a moat runs on the town side and diagonal herring-bone masonry covers the base of the causeway.
