Pages 109-134 | Published online: 19 May 2016

  • Excavations by P. B. Chatwin and the late G. M. Bark in 1930–40 recovered the plans of the chapel, guest-house, great hall, kitchen and some chambers of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The work was not published and the notes were almost all destroyed by fire subsequently.
  • For details of this building and of the subsequent evolution of the castle see the interim report in Trans. Birm. Archaeol Soc., LXXVIII (1962), 61 ff.
  • Such corridors and covered alleys are frequently referred to in the Liberate Rolls (M. E. Wood, ‘13th-century domestic architecture,’ Archaeol. J., cv (1958), suppl. p. 115). At Prestbury moat, Gloucestershire, Helen O'Neil found such a pentice leading from the kitchen to the hall door (Trans. Bristol and Gloucesters. Archaeol. Soc., LXXV (1956), 5ff.). See also T. Borenius & J. Charlton, ‘Clarendon palace,’ Antiq. J., XVI (1936), 72.
