East Cowes Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
East Cowes Castle was the home of architect John Nash between its completion and his death in 1835. Nash himself was the designer of the site, and began construction as early as 1789. He was interred on the grounds.
The structure gained renown for its complex castellation, its gothic-style turrets and towers, and for the notable individuals who came to be Nash's guests there, including the Prince Regent and J.M.W. Turner, who painted a picture of the location.
The castle was demolished in the 1960s, though its clock remains on display at the Carisbrooke Castle Museum.
