Tamworth Castle, Norman castle in Tamworth, England
The stone fortress stands on elevated ground at the junction of River Tame and River Anker, featuring a combination of Norman and medieval architectural elements.
The site transformed from an Anglo-Saxon fortification built in 913 by Aethelflaed into a Norman castle during the 1080s under Robert Despenser's ownership.
The castle museum displays collections of medieval armor, Tudor furniture, and Victorian artifacts that represent different periods of English social history.
The castle operates daily guided tours through its chambers, great hall, and battlements, with special rates available for educational groups and families.
The castle maintains its original motte-and-bailey structure from the 11th century, with later additions including a Tudor great hall and Jacobean residential quarters.
