More about this scene
It is suggested that the remains of Herstmonceux Castle form part of the oldest brick mansion in Britain; it was built in 1441, following a grant from the king to Roger de Fiennes to ‘embattle’ his manor-house at Herstmonceux. It was rebuilt in a military style, and in the towers are cross- crosslets from which cross-bow shafts could be discharged.
