Nunney Castle

The striking and picturesque moated castle of Nunney was built in the 1370's by Sir John de la Mere, a local knight who was beginning to enjoy royal favour. Extensively modernised in the late 16th century, the castle was held for the King during the Civil War, but quickly fell to Parliamentarian canon in 1645:not until Christmas Day 1910, however di the gun-damaged portion of the wall finally collapse.
