The Bulletin  

“The Bulletin,” VoL 70—No. 3638  

Wednesday, November 2, 1949  

Price 6d.  

Registered at the General Post Office. Sydney. N.S.W.. Australia, for Transmission bv Post as Newsoaner  

Seppelts  

NUNNEY’S NORMAN RUIN RECALLS ENGLAND’S STORMY PAST  

picturesque village of Nunney, three miles from Frorae and lying  

aer south-east spur of the Mendip Hills, possesses castle which is  

r°L ar i^ st fortresses Britain. It was built in 1373 by  

John de la Mare out of the spoils of the French wars when he obtained  

trom bdward 111 licence to “fortify and crenellate his manse at Nonny  

“I ount Somerset. .. The following year he was made Keeper  

ict? 111 Castle, and in 1377 Sheriff of Somerset.  

in id the castle came into the possession of Richard Prater, in whose  

amiiy tt until the days of Charles (1625-1649). When the Civil  

War broke out the owner, Colonel Richard Prater, held the castle for the  

*be castle made determined resistance against the besiegers under  

Fairfax, who deployed two regiments with cannon which, when brought into  

action, made breach in the walls. The garrison, consisting of eighty men,  

surrendered when they recognised that further resistance was useless. When  

the castle was taken Colonel Prater hoped to save his possessions by going  

over from the Royalist to the Parliamentarians, but in this he was disappointed,  

for the castle, like all similar strongholds, was practically destroyed. The  

floors and wooden partitions were removed and the roof stripped off, leaving  

the castle very much as it appears today.  

The castle is rectangular in plan, with circular towers at the four corners  

of the curtain wall, and is surrounded by moat which is twenty-five feet  

wide and ten feet deep. The moat was crossed by bridge on its north side  

with drawbridge in front of the entrance. The interior arrangement consisted  

of three floors and basement, and the principal apartments on the second  

floor were reached by small spiral stair in the thickness of the wall.  

In 1926 the building was taken over by the Commissioners of H.M.  

Office of Works, who have restored the castle, which is today fine example  

of fortified dwelling of the fourteenth century.  

CHRISTMAS WINE FOR BRITAIN
