I am a writer seeking an artist's rendering of Pleshey Castle, Essex, England. Can anyone suggest a book that might have such a picture? Many thanks! SusanWriter

As Pleshy is mainly a Motte & bailey castle (all robbed out), it is doubtful there are many paintings of it. Though some no doubt exist. There is an uncredited picture in 'John Leland's Itinerary', by John Chandler; Alan Sutton Press, ISBN 0-86299-957-X. But this is mainly of the 15th C bridge spanning the moat. Picture of about 1777.
