Rougemont Castle Gatehouse
Back to Time Period
Joseph Farington's record of the castle gatehouse, drawn in 1810, published in Lysons' Magna Britannia (1822). The gatehouse belongs to William the Conqueror's reign; its gate was later blocked and a new entrance to the castle provided beside it. The tubs of plants reflect the use of the area outside as a Georgian garden. This is the earliest reliable record of its appearance.
