Monument Type(s):
- LODGINGS (Medieval - 1301 AD to 1399 AD)
Description
14th century timber structure built against the earlier bailey wall, probably part of Edward III’s rebuilding scheme. Built to provide lodgings for 26 poor knights. Two-storey range with closely spaced trusses. These still survive. The front inner wall probably dates from this phase. This mid-14th century phase belongs to the rebuilding programme initiated by Edward III between 1350 and 1377. The timber structure possesses double wall plates and paired side purlins identical to those in the Round Tower which have been dated dendrochonologically to c. 1355 <1>.
