    The castle was built by the Latimer family in the 14th century. Members of this family included some of the most powerful nobles in medieval England. The castle used to be quadrangular - i.e., a rectangular building with a central courtyard and towers at each corner. It is said that it is one of the earliest examples of a fortified yet domestic castle.

    Later on, in 16th century, it used to be the marital home of Catherine Parr when she was married to John Neville. Catherine Parr would later become the sixth wife of Henry VIII.
