🌍Vikings ⚔️ Mountfitchet Castle 🏰 & Norman living village in the UK 🇬🇧

Have you heard of the Vikings or later Normans? Mountfitchet Castle and Norman Village, also termed simply Mountfitchet Castle, is a Norman ringwork and bailey fortification in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, UK. The site is currently in use as a living history museum, complete with livestock that would have been kept by people during the period that the castle was in use.
The castle was built following the Norman conquest of England by the Mountfitchet family. It was constructed on high ground with a ringwork defence, enclosing around 0.5 acres (0.20 ha), and a bailey complex, enclosing 1 acre (0.40 ha) on slightly lower ground. Within the ringwork was a keep, within a small, round enclosure.
It is believed to have been an early Iron Age fort and Roman, Saxon and Viking settlement. Artefacts found on the site from these periods support this belief. In 1066 the site was attacked by the Normans and Robert Gernon built his castle here, making it his chief seat and the head of his Barony. Robert Gernon (or Robert Greno as he is referred to in the Domesday Book) came over from France with William the Conqueror, and was rewarded with this Lordship and several others in the County.The male line of the Gernon family continued for only five generations.

I went here for a school trip when I was younger and I have such a clear memory of it. Glad I found it again

[@Enigmatt_eu]

My pleasure 😁

[@onaematopia]

Me too! It was my first ever school trip in year 2 (I think) about 20 years ago & I can still remember it clearly too. It was my first time seeing goats in real life. I remember we kept stepping on goat poo because it was everywhere 😂. This castle randomly popped into my head today so now I’m watching lots of videos of it to relive my childhood again 😂

[@stephenmudiecastles.2938]

Great place to take young kids for an idea of what it may have been like living in a mediaeval castle.

I believe it was bigger around the outside once. More of a hill to clime to get inside it. This would’ve been back in 1991 or 92
