The focus of this particular illustration is on the South Barbican, a crucial defense structure within the castle during the 13th century. With meticulous attention to detail, Corke's graphic depiction transports us back in time to an era of medieval fortification and strategic planning. The intricate architecture and formidable walls stand as a testament to the castle's historical significance and its role in protecting its inhabitants from potential threats.
