Bodiam
was built in 1385 when Sir Edward Dalyngrygge took Edward
III's okay to fortify his manor house in Sussex against
French attack as a license to build a new castle. The
castle's defenses were feeblely threatened in 1484, but
when a Cromwellian army threatened to bombard Bodiam in
the Civil Wars of 1642-6, the garrison immediately
surrendered. The castle deteriorated until Earl Curzon,
Viceroy of India, rescued her in 1917. |
