Summary
[edit]
|
This is a photo of listed building number 12334. |
| Description |
English: Vayne Castle This shows some of the detail of the castle, which is built of the local Old Red Sandstone. There seems to have been a door at ground level in the round tower at left, which has both a lintel and a strengthening arch above it. It may be that the ground level is much higher than it was when the castle was occupied, and that this door was actually at first floor level and protected by a drawbridge, as it is almost unheard of for castles of this age to have ground floor entrances. This doorway has subsequently been partly built up. To its right is what may have been a window, with lintel and arch above, and a large gunloop below. In the angle between the door and window is a corbel which was probably the foot of another spiral stair well. The stone has clearly been shaped by a skilled hand. |
