Bodiam Castle is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by
Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area
against French invasion during the Hundred Years' War. Of quadrangular plan, Bodiam Castle has no keep, having its
various chambers built around the outer defensive walls and inner courts. Its corners and entrance are marked by
towers, and topped by crenellations. It was the home of the Dalyngrigge family and the centre of the manor of Bodiam. …
By the start of the English Civil War in 1641, Bodiam Castle was in the possession of John Tufton. He supported the
Royalist cause, and sold the castle to help pay fines levied against him by Parliament. The castle was subsequently
dismantled, and was left as a picturesque ruin until its purchase by John Fuller in 1829. Under his auspices, the castle
was partially restored before being sold to George Cubitt, 1st Baron Ashcombe, and later to Lord Curzon, both of whom
undertook further restoration work. The castle is protected as a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Monument. It has
been owned by The National Trust since 1925, donated by Lord Curzon on his death, and is open to the public. (Wikipedia)
