Kinnersley Castle

Kinnersley Castle

Kinnersley Castle is one of the many marches castles along the Welsh Borders. The Castle of Kinnersley was originally a stone structure, thought to have been built during the reign of Henry I of England (1100-1135 C.E.). The Elizabethan building that now occupies the site has obliterated all traces of the medieval castle. [Robinson, Charles John (1869). "A History of the Castles of Herefordshire and Their Lords", pp. 88-92. London: Longman and Co.]
