Stokesay Castle is one of the best-preserved medieval manor houses in England. Despite its name, it’s not a traditional castle designed for defense like others from the same era—it’s more of a fortified manor house. Stokesay Castle was built in the late 1280s and early 1290s by a wealthy wool merchant named Laurence of Ludlow.
