More about this scene
Henry de Newburgh built a large wooden motte and bailey on the site of the present castle; before his death in 1123 he might well have begun to replace the wood with stone. During the Barons' War, Warwick was sacked and all but destroyed by forces loyal to Simon de Montfort. In 1268 the earldom passed to the Beauchamp family, who set about the task of rebuilding. This photograph shows the domestic range, which is situated on the southern side of the fortress overlooking the river. The roof of the Great Hall and several other rooms were restored at considerable cost after being seriously damaged by fire in 1871.
