Slighted during the English Civil War, the castle fell into decay and eventual ruin.
The castle battery remained in military use throughout World War I & II. The castle belonged to King John, and it was here that he died in 1216 following his infamous "surfeit of peaches". King Richard III was also born here in 1452.
One of only 48 castles mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086 and the only one in the county of Essex, it remained in use until the 13th century.

\tWell preserved Tudor coastal artillery fortress.\tBuilt by Henry VIII as part of a chain of defences to protect England's coast from foreign invasion, following his decision to break from the Catholic Church, the fortress' defences represented the most advanced military architecture of the time. Garrisoned by Royalist troops during the first part of the English Civil War (1642-6), it was in ruins by 1684. The Saxons used the site for protection against Vikings raiders, and the Normans added a stone curtain wall and built a castle atop. Excavated by Bedfordshire Archaeology Council, the site is now all but leveled.\t'),newpoints[44]=new Array(53.1853,-2.8923,icon1,"\tChester Castle: Agricola Tower\t",'\tChester Castle: Agricola Tower,\tChester, Cheshire\t

On a site occupied since Roman times, an earth and timber motte and bailey castle was erected by Robert Curthose, eldest son of William the Conqueror, in 1080. During the Civil War the castle was besieged and subsequently taken by the Royalists, who held on to it for three years before it was re-taken by the Parliamentarians in 1646. It is believed to have been abandoned from 1390. Enlarged by his son from 1600, it was never completed and abandoned by 1700. The history of the original castle dates back to 1219, and over the centuries numerous additions were added. Rebuilt in 1660 by Lady Anne Clifford, it quickly fell back into ruin after she died. Constructed to guard the entrance to Yarmouth's harbour from the Solent, it was finished in 1547, one of the last castles to be built in Henry's ambitious plan and the first to adopt the new 'arrowhead' artillery bastion design.
