About Tamworth Castle

Tamworth Castle was built in the south-west corner of a Saxon fortified burh. It was raised shortly after the Norman Conquest, rebuilt in stone during the twelfth century and in 1423 it came into the hands of the Freville family who made it their main residence. The castle briefly saw action during the Civil War when a Parliamentary force dislodged the Royalist garrison.
