Mortimer's Tower, Ludlow Castle

Description

Title:
Mortimer's Tower, Ludlow Castle
Caption / Description:

Mortimer's Tower, on the southeastern side of Ludlow Castle's wall was likely continually occupied up until the end of the seventeenth century, and has been heavily rebuilt on probably two occasions.

The tower appears to have been constructed by breaching the bailey curtain wall, and then building a semi-circular tower on the outside while thickening the wall internally. It was likely built in the twelth or thirteenth century.
