History
A shrine likely existed on the site of the castle around 1271 and it is unknown when it was built or demolished; it was possibly of Roman origin. In 1326 King Edward II annexed the western part of Lucy's estate, which included Staward Pele. Recognising the defensible position of the site, Pele asked for tenders to demolish the pele and build a new larger defendable complex.
