Bodiam Castle is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred Years’ War. Of quadrangular plan, Bodiam Castle has no keep, having its various chambers built around the outer defensive walls and inner courts. Its corners and entrance are marked by towers, and topped by crenellations. Its structure, details and situation in an artificial watery landscape indicate that display was an important aspect of the castle’s design as well as defence. It was the home of the Dalyngrigge family and the centre of the manor of Bodiam. (Source: Wikipedia) For a comprehensive history of the Castle click Here
It is a Grade 1 listed Building with English Heritage, now managed by the National Trust.

Great detail and great treatment. Another cool look at that castle and I especially like the square format here. Sometimes breaking the rules and putting everything into the center works really well! Excellent work Bob.
Thank you so much Chris – I did deliberately crop to this format. Glad you like it.
