Tamworth Castle
Tamworth Castle is a Norman motte and bailey castle set in the south-west corner of what was a Saxon burh, it's located to dominate the approach over the two rivers which meet below the Castle.
Its sandstone walls and superb herringbone wall - all that survives of the "curtain wall" of the bailey are believed to date from the 1180s. They replaced a palisade and wooden tower, built on the present artificial mound shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Castle is blessed with apartments from almost every century from the twelfth to the twentieth and is open to visitors all year round. It has had, for many years, a fine collection of 16th - 19th century furniture on loan from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, in addition to the Castle's own collections.
Fifteen rooms are open to visitors including a Great Hall, Dungeon, Haunted Bedroom and permanent exhibition on Norman Castles. The Tamworth Story, an interactive local history exhibition, opened in 1996.
