CaldicotCaldicot Castle dates from Norman times and was restored for use as a family house in the 1880s. It was originally built by Humphrey de Bohun in the early 13th century. Of particular note is the sturdy round keep and the gatehouse dating from the 14th century. Inside, there’s an interesting collection of furniture from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The castle is set in 55 acres of country park through which the River Neddern winds its way. There’s a children’s activity centre, a giant chess game, and the castle hosts occasional medieval banquets in its splendid Great Hall.The Parish Church of St Mary dates originally from the 12th century, though it is now mainly from the 14th and 15th century. It was founded by Milo Fitzwalter on the site of an earlier church dedicated to St Bride. |
