Wigmore Castle
Wigmore Castle is a Norman-origin medieval fortification near the village of Wigmore in north-west Herefordshire, England. It became the chief seat of the Mortimer family, was extensively remodelled in the late 13th and early 14th centuries, and is now a managed ruin in the care of English Heritage.

As it stood in 1328
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on the south-eastern edge of a spur, the castle in its prime was a compact stone complex with a continuous curtain wall surrounding an inner bailey, a prominent gatehouse with a large central arched passage, and several towers including a fortified mound/keep on the north-west side. Walls are built of pale, roughly coursed rubble masonry and rise to crenellated parapets; defensive ditches cut across the spur act as moats. An internal lodging range and small chapel stood against the inner face of the walls.
