hi for my GCSE history coursework i have to study Thornbury castle and decide whether it is a castle-palace or a defense castle as it has been suggested that it is both, if anyone knows of d criteria for either it would be most appreciated. thanks |

I don't know the castle in question, but the two most important criteria to come to a conclusion would be: • What was the castle build and used for? Was it ever under siege in medieval times and could stand it? • Has the castle fortifications like walls, towers and ditches that are more than just decoration? |
