Launceston Castle, Cornwall, 19th century. Artist: E Francis
Launceston Castle, Cornwall, 19th century. Launceston Castle was originally built as a motte and bailey fortification by the Normans, possibly as early as 1067. It was rebuilt in stone during the 13th century by Richard, Earl of Cornwall, a younger brother of King Henry III. The castle became notorious after the Prayer Book Rebellion of 1548, when 28 Cornishmen were imprisoned there after the killing of one of Thomas Cranmers men, William Body. Many of them were hung, drawn and quartered. Later, George Fox, the founder of the Quakers was imprisoned at the castle for eight months in 1656.

This print transports us back to the 19th century, showcasing the majestic Launceston Castle in Cornwall. Originally constructed as a motte and bailey fortification by the Normans, this formidable structure holds a rich history within its walls. During the 13th century, Richard, Earl of Cornwall rebuilt the castle using stone, adding an air of grandeur to its medieval architecture. However, it was after the Prayer Book Rebellion of 1548 that Launceston Castle gained notoriety. Following the killing of William Body, one of Thomas Cranmer's men, 28 Cornishmen were imprisoned here. Tragically, many met their fate through hanging, drawing and quartering. In later years, another notable figure found himself confined within these ancient walls. George Fox, founder of the Quakers movement endured eight months of imprisonment at Launceston Castle in 1656. The monochrome engraving beautifully captures both the exterior and surrounding landscape with intricate detail. The ruins stand tall against a backdrop of country lanes and avenues; remnants from centuries past that continue to captivate our imagination today. This remarkable piece created by E Francis and W Westall serves as a testament to British heritage and architectural prowess during this era. It allows us to reflect on both triumphs and tragedies that have shaped our history while appreciating the enduring beauty found within these ancient ruins.
