Oxwich Castle

Although it may occupy the site of an earlier fortification, it is a castle in name only as it is a grand Tudor fortified manor house built in courtyard style.

However, with the exception of a ruined tower to the north-east of the castle, which may predate the Tudor building, (and may be the "castrum de Oxenwych" mentioned in a document of 1459) nothing remains of any earlier works.

[4] The East Range carried a large Hall, and, with the South-East Tower to which it was connected, provided extensive accommodation.

The structure was built over the original ruined castle, the residence of the Norman de la Mare family during the 13th and 14th century.

During maintenance works at the Castle in 1968, a gold brooch was discovered by Cyril Grove, which is a rare fine example of medieval British jewellery.
