Herstmonceux Castle from the garden.

            The north aspect of Herstmonceux Castle seen from the Elizabethan gardens which are laid out on either side and at the end of this long garden path lined by yew hedges.

The first written evidence of the existence of the Herst settlement appears in William the Conqueror's Domesday Book which reports that one of William's closest supporters granted tenancy of the manor at Herst to a man named 'Wlbert'. By the end of the twelfth century, the family at the manor house at Herst had considerable status. Written accounts mention a lady called Idonea de Herst, who married a Norman nobleman named Ingelram de Monceux. Around this time, the manor began to be called the 'Herst of the Monceux', a name that eventually became Herstmonceux. (Wikipedia)

The castle was renowned for being one of the first buildings to use brick in England. These bricks were made from the local clay by builders from Flanders.
