Fix this text■pIGHT hundred years ago the Normans
Fix this text- L ' introduced into Britain a style of
Fix this textcastle consisting of a massive central
Fix this textstructure, or keep, set on a mound en-
Fix this textcircled with a defensive wall. At intervals
Fix this textalong the wall look-out towers were con-
Fix this textstructed to guard against surprise attacks
Fix this textand the wall itself was surrounded by a
Fix this textmoat.
Fix this textThe earliest of the Norman castles were
Fix this textmade of wood and the wall was only a
Fix this textwooden palisade. But within two hundred
Fix this textyears of the Norman conquest (1066)
Fix this textstone castles were being built and many of
Fix this textthe strongholds standing today have
Fix this textfeatures dating back to that time.
Fix this textVisitors to the Peak District in England
Fix this textcan view a fine example of this type of
Fix this textcastle near the interesting village of
Fix this textCastleton, where Peveril Castle stands on
Fix this textthe summit of a splendid limestone crag.

Fix this textthis castle belonged, before the Norman
Fix this textconquest, to two Saxons, Gernebern and
Fix this textHundinc.
Fix this textIn the reign of King Edward the Con-
Fix this textfessor (1042-1066) the settlement was
Fix this textvalued at 40 shillings and in 1086 its
Fix this textvalue had increased to 50 shillings, being
Fix this textknown as William Peveril’s Castle.

Fix this textof Nottingham Castle in 1068 by William
Fix this textthe Conqueror, who held him in high
Fix this textesteem and had granted him numerous
Fix this textlordships in Derbyshire. Upon his death,
Fix this textabout 1114, his possessions passed to his
Fix this textson William, who was disinherited in

Fix this textand his estates were forfeited to the
Fix this textCrown, The King, Henry 11, stayed in
Fix this textPeveril Castle between 1157 and 1164 and
Fix this textit was here that he received the submission
Fix this textof Malcolm IV, King of Scotland. In
Fix this text1235 Henry 111 stayed at the castle and
Fix this textm 1254 it was handed over to Eleanor of
Fix this textCastile as part of her dowry. Ten years
Fix this textlater the castle was granted to Simon de
