The Bulletin  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 72—No. 3748  

CHRISTMAS INOMBER  

Wednesday, December 12, 1951  

Price 9d.  

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

Seppelts  

Masterpiece of  

Military Architecture,  

Goodrich Castle  

 

STANDING on wooded hill above the  

River Wye, four miles from Ross, is  

Goodrich Castle, medieval fortress  

which dominates an ancient crossing  

the river used by the Romans en route  

from Gloucester to the important military  

camp at Caerleon. It stands upon the site  

of an earlier castle known as “Godric’s  

Castle,” which is mentioned in docu-  

ment of 1101 as being built by Godric  

Mapperstone. The existing castle, how-  

ever, dates from the twelfth and thirteenth  

centuries, and to its natural defences was  

added moat cut from the rock, which  

made it one of the most formidable of  

medieval fortresses. In order to dis-  

courage spiders and their cobwebs, special  

timber was brought from Ireland for use  

in building the interior.  

Goodrich is by far the largest castle of  

its kind in Herefordshire, and is regarded  

as an important example of military  

architecture. In 1204 King John granted  

the castle to the Earl of Pembroke. In  

the troublesome reign of Edward II there  

was much dispute regarding the posses-  

sion of the castle, which finally fell to  

Richard Talbot in 1326. The Talbots  

were later created Earls of Shrewsbury,  

and Goodrich became their principal  

residence until the death of Gilbert Talbot  

in 1616, when the castle passed to the  

Earls of Kent.  

During the Civil War Goodrich was  

the scene of much fighting, and was the  

last in Herefordshire to hold out for the  

King (Charles I). After siege of four  

and half months it was finally taken by  

the Parliamentarians. Thereafter it passed  

through many hands until 1920, when it  

was placed under the care of H.M. Office  

of Works and preserved as an ancient  

monument.  

An interesting feature of the castle is  

the. Gate Tower, where long, dark  

passage was guarded by two portcullises  

and two strong gates, above which,  

through holes in the roof, molten lead or  

boiling water could be poured upon the  

besiegers below.  

It was in the grounds of this great  

fortress that the poet, William Words-  

worth, in 1798 met the little girl of whom  

he wrote in the well-known poem “We  

Are Seven.”
