DescriptionNewtown Castle.png |
Like a rocket on its launch-pad, this unusual sixteenth century tower house takes the form of a cylinder impaled upon a pyramid. The whole base of the wall between the four boldly projecting spurs is commanded by shotholes ingeniously placed in the apex of pointed notches at the fusion of the cylinder and pyramid. One of these notches, or ghost-gables, lies over the door which is also commanded by one of four machicolations projecting from the parapet. Internally, the tower has five storeys with dome vaults over the ground and third stories, both of which have well-preserved impressions of wickerwork matting. The hall on the fourth story has mullioned windows with the spiral stair projecting into the room. The top floor, originally a bed chamber, has now been incorrectly restored as a gallery, presumably so that visitors can admire the new conical oak roof. |
