# Talk:Worcester Castle

The last sentence of the lead states: "Today nothing remains of Worcester Castle."
Pastscape [1] has this to say about Edgar's Tower:
"The gatehouse was first built circa 1300-35 and was completed after licence to crenellate had been obtained in 1368-69. A restoration took place during the 19th century."
and:
"Built for King John c 1204, probably originally the entrance to the castle, which afterwards became the main gate of the monastery."
If it is not definitively known whether or not the castle gatehouse was entirely demolished, or whether its remains were incorporated into Edgar's Tower, perhaps this should be mentioned. Paravane (talk) 22:40, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

I've clarified that Edgar's still survives; the latest archaeological surveys, though, haven't repeated the Pastscape hypothesis that the remains were incorporated, so I'm inclined to leave that out. Hchc2009 (talk) 06:08, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
