"The first castle here at Dudley was founded by the Normans around 1071. It is a classic example of a motte and bailey castle (the motte being the mound on which the keep stands and the bailey being the flat area within the curtain wall). The keep itself would have been a square wooden structure, but during the 12th century this was pulled down and replaced with a square stone structure. This was again pulled down and not rebuilt again until the 13th century and this is the castle keep you see today in ruins, which was square with a round tower on each corner." |
