Corfe Castle, Dorset
Artist's Catalogue No: 1063
Watercolour & gouache
on paper
Image size 50.6 x 72.7 cms
£11,500
|
|
Note from the Artist: Corfe Castle was built on an isolated steep sided hill that lies in the middle of a gap through the
line of hills that runs across the Isle of Purbeck (so called although it is actually part of the mainland). The castle was
located to guard the gap, through which the road passes. It remained intact until the Civil War, when it was held for
the Royalist cause, withstanding one siege and only falling as a result of treachery during a second. In 1646 parliament
ordered the destruction of the castle, a procedure known as slighting, and shortly afterwards the buildings, including
the outer defences, were comprehensively destroyed by use of gunpowder. Very large chunks of masonry
tumbled down the sides of the hill and still lie at the bottom.

Weobley Castle, Gower,
South Wales
Artist's Catalogue No: 1062
Watercolour & gouache
on paper
Image size 49.2 x 72.1 cms
£11,500
|
|
Note from the Artist: Weobley Castle stands on the north side of the Gower peninsula in south Wales.
Although I like to paint castles I sometimes do so from some distance away, because the siting of the
castle in the landscape is often as interesting as the building itself.
