The location of the castle is explained by the fact that the River Rother was originally navigable as far as Robertsbridge. The Romans used to export Iron Ore from a quayside at Bodiam. This quay continued in use until after the Norman Conquest, and the Castle was built to protect this important and strategic location. Now that the River Rother has all silted up and is all but closed to navigation, the castle's location makes no sense! It is tempting to argue it is nothing more than the social pretence of a castle and had no defensive purpose. Thanks for uploading.
This channel deserves much more attention.
Thanks, though it takes time, so I'll keep going and improve quality and research as I progress
When I think "Castle" this is what I think of.
I think that's why it's so popular, if you look at the 2013-2014 Lego castle, it looks like Bodiam
You should do a vid on Bothwell and Craignathan :)
Plan is to do them all, currently working on a well known Welsh castle
Великолепие средневековой архитектуры очень впечатляет. Удивительная многовековая прочность и надежность. Современные строения выглядят весьма неубедительно.
That's why I like them, almost impossible to imagine such buildings being built ever again
