@historical3d: Corfe Castle in Dorset, from the Normans to today. The Normans built in stone on the hill in about 1080, and the great keep rose in about 1105. King John built a palace inside in the early 1200s, and by the 1280s the castle was complete. Elizabeth I sold it in 1572. In 1643 it held out through six weeks of siege, but on a night in February 1646 an officer of the garrison let Parliament's men in, and Parliament had it blown up. Many of the village's houses hold stones that probably came from the ruin, which still stands above them today.
