elegant grounds landscaped by Capability Brown in the 1750.s.  The curtain walls and gatehouse are 14C, The Bear Tower and Clarence Tower date from the 15C.  The castle was begun by Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick (1329 - 69) and was also the residence of Richard (1382 - 1439) the 13th Earl, who executed Joan of Arc.
