What are the dimensions of the castle, its rooms, and its walls? Why are these dimensions generally not listed for castles in introductory information? I am interested in building a reproduction of a castle in Virginia. Anyone involved in this type of work please respond (wrninc@aol.com) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.215.28.167 (talk • contribs) 21 January 2007

I'm not involved, but I've added co-ordinates to the artile so you can look on Google Earth. I don't know how accurate their measurements are but the castle is roughly 47m x 42m. (155.43 ft x 141 ft).

[edit] Edward Dallingridge?

Isn't his name Edward Dallyngrigge not Edward Dallingridge. I'm not sure myself but most websites spell his last name as Dallyngrigge. I changed it to Dallyngrigge. If anyone knows how his last name is really spelled you can change it back. But according to what I found so far I think it should be left as Dallyngrigge. Here is one website that spells it Dallyngrigge. Bishr the Great (talk) 21:08, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey On all the websites I've been on its that as well so it is right. (and I've been on like 20!!) Well done for noticing!! xx —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.181.145 (talk) 18:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Spelling

The spelling of Dallingridge's name was, like much orthography during the medieval period, highly inconsistent. If you browse old Sussex documents of , you'll see it spelled many different ways. I suppose the 'Dallynrigge' is as good as any. The name apparently derives from a ridge near Dalling. Even on this one page from an 1885 volume the name isn't spelled consistently.[1] The Sussex Archaeological Society addressed the derivation of the name here.[2]Regards,MarmadukePercy (talk) 16:24, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
