Donnington Castle
|
|
A twin-towered gateway stands at the entrance to this 14th century stronghold. Sadly, the remainder of Donnington Castle is little more than earthworks, but the gatehouse is still very striking and well worth a visit. The castle was built by Richard Abberbury the Elder, and was later the home of Thomas Chaucer, son of poet Geoffrey Chaucer. It was besieged several times by Parliamentary troops during the English Civil War, but never taken.
