Well preserved 12th century castle and earthwork defences.Built in around 1138 by William d'Aubigny,1st Earl of Arundel,Rising has served as a hunting lodge,royal residence and a royal mint.

One of the most famous 12th century castles in England,the well preserved stone keep is amongst the finest surviving examples of its kind and is surrounded by 12 acres of earthwork defences.
Its current owner is Lord Howard of Rising,a descendant of William d'Aubigny.
Castle Acre castle
Remains of a Norman motte and bailey castle.Built soon after the Norman Conquest of 1066 by William de Warenne,the first Earl of Surrey,the castle was of motte-and-bailey construction.
On the summit of the motte was the owner's residence,the last refuge in the event of an attack.
A strong curtain wall with wall walks protected the motte summit,and a lesser wall topped the banks of the bailey.
The Bailey Gate is a survivor of the original ditched earthwork defences with its stone towers.
Castle Acre priory
Is one of the largest and best preserved monastic sites in England dating back to 1090.
It was the home of the first Cluniac order of monks to England and the Cluniac love of decoration is everywhere reflected in the extensive ruins.

a refuge for pilgrims,and a stopping point for royalty,clergy and nobility.It was also part of a vast monastic network centred on the great abbey of Cluny in France.Today the priory remains are among the finest and best-preserved monastic ruins in England.

Exploring Castle Acre Castle In The Heart Of Norfolk England Part 1
ABANDONED CITY CAMO CREW EXPLORE
Castle Acre Castle and town walls are a set of ruined medieval defences built in the village of Castle Acre, Norfolk. The castle was built soon after the Norman Conquest by William de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey, at the intersection of the River Nar and the Peddars Way. William constructed a motte-and-bailey castle during the 1070s, protected by large earthwork ramparts, with a large country house in the centre of the motte. Soon after, a small community of Cluniac monks were given the castle's chapel in the outer bailey; under William, the second earl, the order was given land and estates to establish Castle Acre Priory alongside the castle. A deer park was created nearby for hunting.
After civil war broke out in England in 1135, the third earl, also called William, set about improving the defences of the castle. He began to build a tall keep on top of the motte, reinforcing the surrounding earthworks with stone walls. A planned settlement was established alongside the castle, surrounded by its own earthworks and walls, and the Peddars Way was redirected to pass by the castle, town and priory, all important symbols of the de Warennes' power in the region. Hamelin de Warenne acquired the castle through marriage and curtailed the building work on the keep around 1165, but completed the construction of three large stone gatehouses in the castle and town. One of these, the town's bailey gate, still survives intact.
The de Warennes continued to hold the castle until 1347, when it was inherited by Richard Fitzalan, the Earl of Arundel. By 1397 the fortifications were in ruins and, despite restoration work by Sir Edward Coke at the start of the 17th century, the decline continued until the 20th century. In 1971, Thomas Coke, the Earl of Leicester, placed the castle into the guardianship of the state. In the 21st century, it is managed by English Heritage and open to visitors. Historic England consider the castle's huge defensive earthworks to be among the finest surviving in England.

EPISODE 6 // Castle Acre
Castle Acre, a tranquil rural village in Norfolk, boasts an extraordinary wealth of history. It is a rare and complete survival of a Norman planned settlement, including a castle, village, parish church and one of the best-preserved monastic sites in England, Castle Acre Priory.
Castle Acre itself was once a fortified town and still possesses one of its gates, the Bailey Gate. When first established, Castle Acre was one of the finest examples of Norman town planning in the country, and much of this can still be seen.

The Castle Acre Norfolk 4K
Castle Acre, a tranquil rural village in Norfolk, boasts an extraordinary wealth of history. It is a rare and complete survival of a Norman planned settlement, including a castle, village, parish church and one of the best-preserved monastic sites in England, Castle Acre Priory. All this was the work of a great Norman baronial family, the Warennes, mainly during the 11th and 12th centuries.
Castle Acre Castle was founded soon after the Battle of Hastings by the first William de Warenne, a close associate of William the Conqueror. It is a superb and well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle, and remains one of the most impressive Norman earthworks in the country.
The Bailey Gate is one of two stone gatehouses added to the settlement's massive earthwork defences in about 1200. The main road into the village still runs between its towers.

Castle Acre castle.
Castle Acre castle is often described as the finest ruins in England. It was built between 1070 and 1085 by William de Warenne but started as a a two-storey residential building but was later turned into a keep. It was built in a valley near the river Nar and the nearby Peddars Way was diverted to pass the castle. To the west of the castle was the 12th century planed town which was also defended by its own walls and ditches. Later development included fortified gatehouses of which the north one still stands.

Interesting ruins
Castle Acre Church, Village and Castle
These photo's were actually taken last year on a trip to the Village of Castle Acre in Norfolk, England.
It was a wet day, but we walked around the village, which is really interesting itself with strange little shops. At one end of the village is the Priory, (I have added that as a video response to this one) and at the other end is the Castle ruins themselves, and right in the middle is the beautiful church.
In the church, there were several cloth paintings, showing the life of Christ, forgive me if they are in the wrong order. While I am obviously not Christian, I do really enjoy visiting old Churches, as many of them round here have alot of symbols of times when we all worshipped together.
Hope you enjoy....
