Knight @ Nunney Castle_v2
Located in Somerset, Nunney Castle was built by a knight called John de la Mare under a royal licence issued in 1373. It was extensively modernised in the late 16th century, some say by Richard Prater, a rich Londoner who bought the castle circa 1560.
The castle remained in the possession of the Prater family until the English Civil War, when it was besieged and ruined by order of Parliament.
The shell of the tower was taken into state guardianship in 1926 and cleared of plants and rubble and is now owned by English Heritage.
