Model of Norman castle in
1/96th scale and on a 6ft by 3ft
base. The model can be viewed at Henley in Arden Heritage centre
Beaudesert Castle , Henley in Arden, Warwickshire
The outer Bailey with assortment of buildings & animals
Unfortunately nothing now remains of the castle although the moat can still clearly be seen on Henley 'Mount', it is supposed that
local residents of long ago removed all the stones to build nearby villages.
The model therefore
represents a visualisation of
how it
may have looked as
there are no known
contemporary prints or
drawings in existence.
Recent excavations by TV's Timeteam concluded
that there probably was not a stone keep in the manner shown here but as virtually nothing now remains to base this upon it must be
considered pure guesswork on their behalf
The Gatehouse, the pathway is still visible today
The inner Bailey & keep
