Amberley Castle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amberley Castle is in the village of Amberley, West Sussex (grid reference TQ027132).

It was erected as a 12th century manor house and fortified in 1377. It then had a stonework enclosure with high cutain walls, towers, a hall and a gateway and was used as a fortress for the bishops of Chichester.

It has now been much modified and is in use as a hotel.
