Carlisle Castle 7348

            Carlisle Castle - the Captains Tower. Grade 1 listed and in the care of English Heritage. King Henry I visited Carlisle in 1122 and ordered that it be ‘fortified with a castle and towers’. This is probably the start of the keep, in what had been a mainly earthwork fortification built by the Romans. After 1538  King Henry VIII ordered a review of Carlisle’s defences after Scotland formed an alliance with France. The result was the largest campaign of building that the castle had seen since the 12th century, directed by a Moravian engineer, Stephan von Haschenperg. Following the last great battle here in the Jacobite Rising 1745, the castle became increasing derelict until it was transformed into Barracks in the C19th, with the destruction of some historic parts and the building of the barrack blocks. It was not until 2000 that the Military ceased operations at Carlisle and the building's chief function switched to tourism.
