The Bulletin  

Bulletin,”  

Vol. 65.—N0. 3334,  

Wednesday; January 5, 1944.  

Price 6d.  

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

PORCHESTER CASTLE.  

pORCHESTER CASTLE, on narrow neck of land jutting out  

into Portsmouth Harbour, is quadrangular building showing  

traces of many different styles of architecture. The Britons cer-  

tainly possessed fortress on this spot, calied Caer Peris. Under  

the Romans it was called Portus Magnus, and the circular and  

semicircular towers, as well as the outer walls, still show signs  

°t Roman workmanship. Roman coins and medals, too, have  

often been dug up in the neighbourhood.  

The keep at the north-west angle of the castle seems from its  

appearance to have been originally Saxon but there are clear  

marks of Norman style, and even Tudor. Indeed if we turn to the  

annals of the place we find records of the continual repairs which  

the castle underwent.  

Ihe earliest incidents connected with Porchester are the frequent  

visits of King John the building was in his time State prison,  

but the King seems to have been attracted there chiefly because it  

was his wine store. It continued to be used as State prison, and  

during the war with the French in the period of the Revolution, as  

many as 8000 men were confined there at one time —Dutch prisoners  

from De Winter’s fleet captured at Camperdown (1797), galley  

slaves cast ashore in Pembrokeshire, some of the choicest sailors  

from the opposite coast, and Tallien, the accuser of Robespierre-  

all huddled together, captives in the castle. This place used to be  

the principal station of the British navy but the sea retired and  

Porchester gave up its importance to Portsmouth. Through the  

Nortons the property passed to the Thistle-thwaytes, who in this  

century laid out the approaches to the outer entrance to the castle  

as public garden. The walls, which are from to 12 feet thick  

by 18 feet high, enclose nearly five acres.
