Conisbrough castle, a medieval fortification. South Yorkshire, UK
Conisbrough Castle's unique keep is in the process of being dramatically re-presented as part of a major Heritage Lottery Funded project, and the site will re-open to the public in May 2014.
The lofty 12th century keep of this very well-preserved building, now complete with its restored roof and floors, is a magnificent sight. It had a major role to play in the Wars of the Roses, was once owned by Richard of York and even featured in Sir Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe.
Now is giving this 12th century castle the latest in 21st century presentations. The keep’s three floors will be inhabited by wall-projected, larger than life characters who will talk to visitors, a range of audio visuals, and display panels in ‘graphic novel’ style. These will tell the story of Hamelin, who built the current castle, and his wife Isabel.
Visitors will also receive a first class welcome in the castle’s brand new visitor centre.

Conisbrough Castle is a medieval fortification in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire, England. The castle was initially built in the 11th century by William de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey, after the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Hamelin Plantagenet, the illegitimate, parvenu son of Henry II, acquired the property by marriage in the late 12th century. Hamelin and his son William rebuilt the castle in stone, including its prominent 28-metre (92 ft)-high keep. The castle remained in the family line into the 14th century, despite being seized several times by the Crown. The fortification was then given to Edmund of Langley, passing back into royal ownership in 1461.

Conisbrough Castle I was really brave out on the roof
We pay a visit to Conisbrough Castle. The castle was initially built in the 11th century by William de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey, after the Norman conquest of England in 1066.
Hamelin Plantagenet, the illegitimate, parvenu son of Henry II, acquired the property by marriage in the late 12th century. Hamelin and his son William rebuilt the castle in stone, including its prominent 28-metre (92 ft)-high keep.
The castle is made up of an inner and an outer bailey, the former surrounded by a stone curtain wall defended by six mural towers and the castle keep. The inner bailey would have included a hall, solar, chapel and other service buildings of which only the foundations survive. The design of Conisbrough's keep is unique in England, and the historians Oliver Creighton and Stephen Johnson consider it an architectural gem and one of the finest examples of late Norman defensive architecture. The keep comprises a circular central tower with six massive buttresses; its four floors would have included a main chamber and a private chamber for the lord above it. Although militarily weak, the design would have been a powerful symbol of Hamelin Plantagenet's new social status as a major lord.

The Conisbrough Castle remained in the family line into the 14th century, despite being seized several times by the Crown. The fortification was then given to Edmund of Langley, passing back into royal ownership in 1461.
Conisbrough fell into ruin, its outer wall badly affected by subsidence, and was given to the Carey family in the 16th century. Its derelict state prevented it from involvement in the English Civil War of the 17th century and the remains were bought by the Duke of Leeds in 1737. Sir Walter Scott used the location for his 1819 novel Ivanhoe and by the end of the 19th century the ruins had become a tourist attraction, despite the increasing industrial character of the area.
The state took over the management of the property in 1950, but by the 1980s the visitor facilities were felt to be unsuitable, leading to a three-way partnership being created between the local council, the state agency English Heritage and a local charitable trust to develop the Conisbrough Castle . The keep was re-roofed and re-floored in the 1990s with the help of European Union funding. English Heritage took over control of the castle in 2008 and continue to operate the property as a tourist attraction.

This is the original Ivanhoe castle. Great history here, a Norman fortification which most likely was of military importance for a long time before then. Well worth a visit.

The Stable Company - Castle Academy (Conisbrough)
Double classroom, kitchen and w.c. cubicles/wash room
The Castle Academy needed to respond to Ofsted advice to increase its early years and outdoor learning provision. Timber structures were the ideal solution to build on a challenging, hillside site.
To create a high-spec building for Foundation Stage children. The building has two large group teaching spaces, a kitchen area for preparation of food and a shared W.C. and wash area.
A major part of the school’s requirement was to work alongside a team that was able to deliver the entire project. Our Complete Care Solution meant we handled planning permission, building control, structural calculations, CDM coordination, sub-contractor management and testing and commissioning. Design through to interior fit-out was all handled by our expert team.
