The lyrics to the 1935 original London production of the title song in "Anything Goes".
He was the builder of Hever Castle, a moated quadrangular stone castle built by the Normans
It is spelled Bodiam Castle and it is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge. The purpose was to defend the area against French invasion.
Nunney Castle was a fortified house in the french style. It would have been a strongpoint in the middle ages and the centre of the community. Despite being moated & having a small river nearby, by the time of the English Civil War it was hoplessly indefencible to artillery, as hills overlook the castle. In short, the castle was originally built as a local strongpoint & is best regarded as a fortified house rather than a castle as such. Parliamentary gunpowder was its undoing. ( & just in case you're wondering I lived at one time within 3 miles of Nunney & went to Cubs there !) Visit their website for the history: http://www.nunneycastle.co.uk
A nucleated settlement pattern is a strong settlement pattern of compact villages of varying sizes with little dispersal in wider countryside. It often develops where defense is a priority, such as inside a meander (a bend on a river) or on a hilltop (for instance, Caerphilly). Cardiff developed as a nucleated settlement because its naturally moated castle could be easily defended. Nucleated settlements are towns where buildings are close together, often clustered around a central point.

Bodiam Castle was not just built for defence but also for display, It didn't have much defensive features.Bodiam Castle is also considered to be one of the best moated castles from the late medieval period. Even if it was not used as a defence, It had defensive walls ,inner courts , a wooden bridge (defended by a drawbridge), its own defended Gatehouse and Attackers then faced machicolations, three pairs of heavy doors, three portcullises and further 'murder holes' in the vaulted passageway. :)
If it wasn't possible to divert a stream the moat would be filled by rainwater in a few months. It rains a lot in England and Wales where a lot of the moated castles were built.
