Barbican of Peckforton Castle, near Tarporley, Cheshire, UK, 1 January, 2007
Somehow, I don't associate this shape with genuine mediaeval castles, but I presume the architect (Anthony Salvin) knew better and that it's accurately based on a previous design. Authenticity was one of Tollemache's priorities – the Victorian age had already produced too many mere follies. |
