Scope and Content
Maton, W. G. Observations relative chiefly to the natural history, picturesque scenery and antiquities of the western counties of England. Salisbury and London: J.Easton, 1797. p. 113.The eastern tower is accessible by a passage from the room over the gateway; here, we found, was the best point for surveying the environs of the castle. The interior part appears to be considerably more modern than the gate and outer walls, the windows being square or oblong, with linterns and cross bars of stone. It is going rapidly to decay, however, and the walls being composed of slate might be entirely demolished with little trouble. When perfect, these apartments must have been extremely grand, and were decorated in a splendid manner, if one might judge from the mouldings, columns, &c. which remain.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
