Launceston Castle, Cornwall, 19th century.Artist: E Francis
Launceston Castle, Cornwall, 19th century. Launceston Castle was originally built as a motte and bailey fortification by the Normans, possibly as early as 1067. It was rebuilt in stone during the 13th century by Richard, Earl of Cornwall, a younger brother of King Henry III. The castle became notorious after the Prayer Book Rebellion of 1548, when 28 Cornishmen were imprisoned there after the killing of one of Thomas Cranmer's men, William Body. Many of them were hung, drawn and quartered. Later, George Fox, the founder of the Quakers was imprisoned at the castle for eight months in 1656.
