The dilapidated great hall was no longer adequate for court sessions and after the 1640s the courts moved to a building in the town, leaving the castle solely as a prison.

   Climb the tower. Since the 11th century, a high mound, partly natural, partly man-made, has stood over the town and surrounding countryside. The High Tower was built within the circular stone wall and you can see the joist holes for the roof. With two rooms inside, the tower was two storeys high with a window and fireplace still in evidence.
