Based on a book of the same name (Nottinghamshire County Council, 2008) this is a refreshed and updated lecture on a regionally popular theme. Whilst much work has been done on Nottingham and Newark, most of the other castles in the county are a mystery even to local people. The talk concentrates on the early Norman motte and bailey castles built as part of the post-Conquest settlement, such as Bothamsall and East Bridgford, and moves on to study the late Mediaeval fortified manor houses such as Strelley Hall.
