description: The castle is second only to the church as an outward and visible survivor of the Middle Ages. As the fortified residence of a lord, the castle played a key role in English feudal society. It was indeed so ubiquitous that more than 1200 existing castle sites have been recorded in England, and that not merely in frontier areas such as the Welsh and Scottish brders, but in every part of the country.
