Chateau Impney (by flash of light)

One-time ‘palace’ of Salt King, John Corbett near Droitwich Spa. Corbett turned the unprofitable salt mines nearby into a money-spinner. With the proceeds he built the St Andrew’s Brine Baths to take advantage of the natural brine springs, several hotels, and other buildings in the town. He built the chateau for his homesick French wife, but she left him soon after it was completed.

| ♕ |  ‘B’ - Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex  | by Sez_D | via skysignal

The title comes from the letter found in the paving stone.

Herstmonceux is renowned for its magnificent moated castle, set in 550 acres of glorious parkland and superb Elizabethan gardens. Built originally as a country home in the mid 15th Century, Herstmonceux Castle embodies the history of medieval England and the romance of renaissance Europe.

Sir Roger Fiennes was granted a licence to build Herstmonceux in 1441. The castle was one of the earliest to be built of brick and was constructed in a lake so that the water acted as a large moat. The castle was well appointed, designed more for comfort than for defence. Unfortunately the castle was not well maintained by some of its later owners.

By the end of the 18th century much of it had been demolished to provide building materials for Herstmonceux Place, further up the hill. During the first half of the 20th century the ruins were transformed into an impressive home and the external appearance of the castle was restored.
