SUMMARY:Snodhill Castle – guided tour
DESCRIPTION:Snodhill must be the biggest\, oldest castle no-one’s heard of. Its size\, scale and obvious elan point to a significance far greater than its scant written records do. This much\, however\, we think we know: \nIn 2021 we discovered Stone and Bronze age evidence that showed that the ‘Snodhill’ (possible meaning ‘Cleared hill’) was occupied for thousands of years before the Normans arrived. It is also possible that Snodhill is a very rare pre-Norman castle built around 1050 to guard the fertile Dore Valley and its prosperous Saxon villages at Wilmastone\, Dorstone\, Peterchurch and Mynydd-brith. \nWhat we know for certain is that the castle was built around 1068 by Norman Superknight William Fitz Osbern\, 1st Earl of Hereford\, who was campaigning to assert Norman control along the Welsh Marches (he built all the early Norman castles from Chepstow to Wigmore). \nFitz Osbern granted the castle to his loyal knight Hugh l’Asne who held it until his death in 1101\, when the castle passed to Robert de Chandos (who had married l’Asne’s daughter).
