 Lancaster Castle – A Brief History
Lancaster Castle is an ancient castle, a Crown Court, and a Category C men's prison. The castle buildings
are owned by Lancashire County Council, which leases a major part of the structure to Her Majesty's
Prison Service. The site itself is owned by the Duchy of Lancaster.
History
The site's origins lie in Roman times. The castle and priory were founded by Roger of Poitou at the end of
the eleventh century, with part of the Norman keep surviving to this day. The most substantial medieval
remnant was largely the result of rebuilding during the fourteenth century, during the time of John of
Gaunt, leading to the castle also being known as John O'Gaunt's castle.
During the 12th century the castle was supposed to have been occupied temporarily by the Scots under
David I. The Scots possession of the castle may be the reasoning for its conversion from a motte and bailey
castle into one of a stone keep during the occupation, an attempt to strengthen the Scots' claims to lands
17

above the river Ribble.

The castle has been a prison since at least 1196 and is now partly open to the public. The notorious Pendle
Witches trial took place here, in the time of Thomas Covell, the Governor of the Castle and Prison. The
castle survived an attack by Robert Bruce and more than one royalist attack during the English civil war.
The Shire Hall, which was built in 1802 to a design by Thomas Harrison, has displays of heraldic shields,
and the Grand Jury room has a collection of Gillow furniture. There is also a Crown Court and some
medieval dungeons.
The castle was linked on to Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster from Henry III in 1267, and from this
the castle is part of the Duchy of Lancaster, currently owned by Queen Elizabeth II.
In the United States, the Lancaster County Prison in Lancaster, Pennsylvania was built in 1737 as an almost
exact replica of Lancaster Castle.
