Last week, we started exploring the history of our Castle. This time, we're looking at some of the changes Henry II made after The Anarchy, transforming Nottingham Castle from a military structure to a provincial palace 🏰

The original structure was made of timber and was a typical example of a Norman castle. However, after a series of attacks on the city and a change in custody, the castle needed a bit of a makeover ✨

That's all we're revealing today, but join us next week for more...👀

Today, we’re sharing a little bit about the original Nottingham Castle 👇

It all began with William the Conqueror's victory at the Battle of Hastings. There was barely a year of his reign when he was not suppressing a rebellion somewhere. The north were particularly rebellious.

Isabella of France was a mum to be reckoned with. Along with her lover Mortimer, she deposed her husband Edward II, and ruled in place of her son Edward III until, here in Nottingham, he took back his throne. Mother and son had an unsurprisingly distant relationship after this!

Over the next three weeks, over 200 frames were smashed, with attacks almost daily in Arnold, Bulwell, Basford, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Woodborough, Lambley, Ilkeston and Mansfield.

It was Nottinghamshire's March of discontent! 🔨

#OTD 210 years ago, 11 March 1811, a crowd gathered in Nottingham's Old Market Square - many were local textile workers whose livelihoods were threatened by the pace of industrialisation thanks to the spreading of a new invention: the stocking frame 🪧

Another #NottmWindowscapes masterpiece from Evelyn, age 10 🎨

Her mum said: "From her window she can see her classroom and the school field. She's missing being in school a lot so enjoyed doing this bit of art-work.”
