The Norman Castle Colchester

Colchester Castle was built by the Normans in the 1070s, and is the largest keep ever built by the French invaders.
It is located on the foundations of the Roman Temple of Claudius.
Its construction dates back to around 1076 when King William I ordered a royal fortress to be built at Colchester.

it looks as though the normans learnt some masonry tricks from the romans - and I like the tree on the roof.
