Whitney Castle
From WRG
Jump to navigationJump to searchWhitney Castle was burned in 1402 during a Welsh uprising led by Owen Glendower.
In 1404, King Henry IV granted Clifford Castle to Robert Whitney because "his property has been burnt and destroyed by our rebels of Wales, so that the same Robert has not any castle or fortress where he can tarry to resist and punish our aforesaid rebels".
Whitney Castle was rebuilt, but was destroyed again, this time washed away by the River Wye, perhaps in 1730 when it changed course.
