T of L (N) Challenges and benefits of studying. (B) When and Why
| CHALLENGES | CHALLENGES |
| Main Problem? | It's age (nearly 1000 years). Some parts could have been destroyed/damaged or repaired/replaced (Lion tower destroyed, moat drained) |
| What did the Victorians do? | Rebuilt parts to make it look more medieval, hard to distinguish between legitimate medieval castle and interpretation (salt tower made by Anthony Salvin) |
| What was limited? | Limited sources and so have to rely on historians interpretations and Bayeux Tapestry |
| BENEFITS | BENEFITS |
| Most significant part? | White Tower. Almost exactly as it was when built. Overall, very well preserved for castle over 1000 years |
| Anything else the same? | Henry III and Edward I's curtain walls still stand. |
| What about UNESCO? | Very important site as it's a UNESCO world heritage site, so well studied. Also has detailed information boards and is most of it is open to the public |
| What were the first Norman defences? | 1066. Used remains of roman walls and built the rest out of wood |
| What happened between 1075-1079 | Work started on the White Tower. It was built of stone |
| When was the white tower completed? | 1097, after Williams death |
| Why was it built? | Status Symbol. Projects the power/wealth of Normans. |
| Why else? | Protect from foreign invasion (especially Vikings) |
| And the last one? | To assert dominance over the English. Foreign King so English don't like him. Needs to control them. He can prevent rebellions (e.g. Exeter 1068) and to control his capital city |
