Conisbrough Castle - The castle was the centre of a great Norman lordship, given by William the Conqueror to William de Warenne. The keep was probably built in the 1170s or 1180s. Escaping damage in the Civil War, it became a picturesque ruin in the 18th and 19th centuries, and inspired Sir Walter Scott's most famous novel, Ivanhoe, published in 1819.

Conisbrough Castle was initially built in the 11th century by William de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey, after the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Hamelin Plantagenet, the illegitimate son of Henry II, acquired the property by marriage in the late 12th century. It was Hamelin who rebuilt the castle in stone. #conisbroughcastle #conisbrough #englishheritage #englishheritagesites #castle #castles #medieval #medievalcastle #fortress #history #heritage #southyorkshire #englishhistory #britishhistory #canon5dmarkiv #autumnvibes🍁 #fall #autumn #photographinghistory #touristythings #englishtourism #outandaboutwithliz (at Conisbrough Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dYf7BguKp/?igshid=1i5vlrkb8vgk5
