Beschreibung:
Montgomery Castle The castle was built in 1227 near the Welsh border in a prominent position overlooking the River Severn. During the Civil War in 1644 it was beseiged and captured by Parliamentary forces. A Royalist army attempted to recapture the castle but was met by a relieving force and defeated on the fields beside the River Camlad. Parliament ordered the castle to be destroyed in 1648 and this was done by its owners. Parts of the newly built hall were rescued and re-used in other buildings.
