Built c.1140, home to the de Veres, Earls of Oxford for 550 years and still owned by their descendants. Besieged by King John and visited by King Henry VII, King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. The beautiful bridge, built c. 1496 to replace the drawbridge, spans the dry moat leading to the Inner Bailey.
