Pembridge Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pembridge Castle is a late 12th-early 13th Century Grade I listed former border castle, located near Welsh Newton, Herefordshire. It is over 30 miles away from the actual village of Pembridge. Founded by 1208, it was the seat of the Pembridge family, then later the Wakes and Mortimer families in the 14th and 15th Centuries. The chapel is 16th Century. Ruined in 1644 during the English Civil War, much reconstruction of the castle was undertaken in the early 20th Century by a Dr Hedley Bartlett. It remains in private ownership.
