Stone Castles

Concentric castles were generally located near the sea so that during a siege, they could recieve supplies via the ocean instead of via foot while still being protected.

The castle at Newcastle was first built in the period 1169 to 1178, complete with its stone donjon (called a keep only after the middle ages had ended).

If you use a light grade of mineral spirits you can darken stone. However, make sure you apply it lightly.

A keep is a strong central tower that is used as a dungeon or a fortress. Often, the keep is the most defended area of a castle, and as such may form the main habitation area, or contain important stores such as the armoury, food, and the main water well, which would ensure survival during a siege.

the difference is that the wooden structure it less stable, and is a motte and bailey, on the other hand a stone castle has a more hard wearing structure.

In 1066 Motte and bailey castles were used

because it's old

the hall was usually bare, it was made of stone. It might have had a raised section at the end of the hall, for the lord and his lady to sit. It usually had a large fire place in it. But also tippically, it was very cold, and the lighting wasn't very good. It was lit by the fireplace in the wall, or torches on the wall, or candles on the table.

For flooring, the put down rugs too. To try to make it warmer, more homley, and softer.

this is rubish!

They are used in medieval castles as protection from attackers. They're part of a wall that has gaps, so it looks kind of like up-down-up-down.

The merlons are the teeth that stick up. Defenders can hide behind them before attacking the invaders to the castle.

The crenels are the gaps between the teeth. Defenders stand between these gaps to attack invaders.

Hope that helped!

They would use a tactic called undermining.

The Shell Keep Castle. After the Year 1100 another change in the way castles were designed took place. The old square keeps were not so good because it was easy to dig underneath the corners of the keep and make it fall down. Instead they started to build castles with one set of round walls. These were good because the soldiers could see all around and also the castles were harder to knock down. The one weak spot was the gateway - so gatehouses were made very strong with towers on each side and a drawbridge. They sometimes had a portcullis which was a massive wooden grating that could be slid up and down. Restormel Castle is a Norman stone ringwork and bailey fortress and was the home to Edward, the Black Prince. The huge circular shell keep has a complete ring of buildings inside and is encased by a deep ditch. Hope you have a nice day!!!

You would clean Cotswold stone using a product called Swarfega Brick and Masonry Cleaner. Wearing household gloves, mix the cleaner in some warm water and dip a plastic brush in the solution. Scrub the stone gently a wipe away any residue with a clean, damp cloth.

catapulted stones or canon shells are likely to glance off the rounded stone walls.
