From battles and sieges, starvation and destruction to royal infidelity and the cultivation of liquorice, you'll be surprised at what these walls have seen! 14th and 15th century outer church The outer church is of 14th and 15th century origins and is largely ruinous. Alterations were made to the ruins in 1838. The outer church is of a cruciform plan; built of Ashlar sandstone with some rendering. The ruined nave with north and south porches contains the newer structure. The ruined structure has an octagonal tower added in the 18th century.

The Visitor Centre is now open and while work still continues on the excavation of more of the historic ruins there is still lots to do and see. https://www.pontefractcastle.co.uk/

Unfortunately, only ruins can be seen of the castle, which used to be one of the most important castles in Yorkshire. Currently, a large visitor center is being built where people would like to show their life at the castle at that time. Some of the current ruins are being excavated and preserved so that they do not continue to weather. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontefract_Castle
