Arundel Castle, Sussex, the Seat of the Duke of Norfolk, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Arundel Castle, Sussex, the Seat of the Duke of Norfolk, 1858. Arundel Castle stands high, on a steep circular knoll...it was restored by the tenth Duke to its ancient magnificence...The modern parts are in the Gothic style, built of freestone; and stones of a brown cast were selected, in order to accord better with the remains of the ancient fabric. The castle is surrounded on the north and west sides by a deep ditch...The keep is a circular stone tower 68 feet in diameter, and the most perfect in England. In the middle of it is the dungeon, a vault about 10 feet high, accessible by a flight of steps...The keep has been long tenanted by some owls of large size and beautiful plumage, sent over from America...The park is very extensive and finely wooded, including a great variety of picturesque scenery...we are informed that the country round Arundel was covered with vineyards, from which wine was made; and that in 1763 there were sixty pipes of excellent wine, resembling burgundy, in the cellar of the castle, the produce of one vineyard attached to it'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
Arundel Castle, Sussex: A Majestic Stronghold of History and Beauty Arundel Castle, nestled in the heart of Sussex, England, stands proudly on a steep circular knoll, overlooking the picturesque town below. This grand edifice, a testament to the rich history of England, is the seat of the esteemed Duke of Norfolk. The castle, which dates back to the 11th century, was meticulously restored by the tenth Duke in the mid-19th century, returning it to its ancient magnificence. The modern additions to the castle are distinctly Gothic in style, seamlessly blending with the ancient fabric. The architects carefully selected freestone for the construction, ensuring a harmonious appearance with the castle's historic remains. A deep ditch encircles the castle on its north and western sides, adding to its imposing presence. At the heart of the castle lies the keep, a circular stone tower measuring an impressive 68 feet in diameter. The most perfect keep in England, it houses the ancient dungeon, a vaulted chamber approximately 10 feet high, accessible via a steep flight of steps. The keep has long been home to a colony of large American owls, their beautiful plumage adding an ethereal touch to the castle's grandeur. The extensive park surrounding Arundel Castle is a symphony of woodlands and picturesque scenery. The area is steeped in history, with tales of vineyards covering the land and producing wine reminiscent of burgundy. In 1763, an impressive sixty pipes of such wine were stored in the castle's cellar. This image of Arundel Castle, taken in 1858, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the rich tapestry of history and beauty that lies within its walls.
