TP3521 - Grinshill Cliff S3223

Grinshill Hill 192m P102 (630ft) [List Objective: English Humps] (DoBIH Hill ID: 5361) [JNSA 20353]

A castle was constructed in Myddle between 1308 and 1310 by Lord John Le Strange as a stronghold against the Welsh after the family obtained a licence to convert the manor house into a castle. Sometime around 1449, Elizabeth Cobham received the castle as part of her dowry from Richard, 7th Lord Strange. After Lord Strange died, Cobham married Sir Roger Kynaston in 1450. Elizabeth died in 1453, and left the castle to Kynaston. Upon Roger's death in 1495, his son Humphrey Kynaston inherited the castle, but allowed it to fall into disrepair, and abandoned it some time later. The castle has stood empty since the 16th century, with one visitor to the village, John Leland, describing the castle as veri ruinus around 1540. The castle collapsed during the 1688 earthquake. The castle was repaired by John Hume Egerton in 1849, who inscribed his name into a block in the castle's wall. The castle is now a Grade II Listed Building and, since a portion collapsed in 1976, has been scheduled for repair.
