Nestled in the picturesque town of Lydford, Devon, lies a historic gem that bears witness to the region's rich past - Lydford Castle. This evocative photograph, taken in 1908, captures the essence of the castle as it stands today - a blend of medieval grandeur and Edwardian nostalgia. 3. In medieval times, Lydford Castle was a formidable fortress and the seat of power for the stannary courts. These courts held jurisdiction over matters relating to the lucrative tin mining industry in Devon and Cornwall. The castle's imposing structure served as a symbol of authority and justice, with its high walls and fortified gates protecting the judges and their decisions. 4. The castle's courtroom was the scene of many legal proceedings, where disputes between miners, merchants, and landowners were settled. However, the castle also served as a prison or gaol, housing those who defied the law or were awaiting trial. The dank, dark cells offer a stark reminder of the harsh realities of medieval punishment. 5. The castle's architectural style is a testament to the various historical periods it has witnessed. The Norman keep, with its thick, circular walls, stands proudly at the heart of the castle, while the later additions in the Tudor and Elizabethan styles reflect the changing tastes and needs of the time. 6. Today, Lydford Castle stands as a reminder of the region's rich history and its pivotal role in the tin mining industry. The castle ruins, with their intriguing stories of justice, punishment, and power, continue to captivate visitors and historians alike.
