Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Journal of British Archaeological Association, Vol. 19: Established 1843, for the Encouragement and Prosecution of Researches Into the Arts and Monuments of the Early and Middle Ages This specimen of the residence of a gentleman of knightly rank during the fifteenth century, is in the parish of Marldon, about five miles from Newton Abbot. It is mentioned, with short descriptions, both in Lysons´s Devonshire, and in Parker´s Domestic Architecture, in each case accompanied by a well-drawn view. A nearly perfect specimen of such a building is of rare occurrence, and this, which has been preserved with the loss of only one important feature, seems, therefore, to merit a complete and accurate description, such as it was not within the scope of the writers above mentioned to afford. Besides that it is a good example of a certain type of building, Compton Castle possesses some peculiarities of its own. Its situation is remarkable, not for strength or commanding position, but for the reverse of those qualifications; on the other hand, from this very cause, the contrivances upon the walls, for the annoyance of assailants, are both unusually numerous and ingenious. The castle occupies the western half of an oblong court or bailey, which is still enclosed on three sides by lofty walls. The entrance was on the eastern side, but there the wall is now totally destroyed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
