castles: A fortified defensive building or structure. Strictly speaking, a castle was also a home, whereas a fort was purely defensive, but I have used castle for any fortified place. A castle may also have had a dungeon or donjon, a sort of prison for offenders and captured soldiers.

Synonyms: fort, keep, garrison

Pictures from English Homes Vol III, No. 1, Late Tudor & Early Stuart, 1558 - 1649, 1922.

This is a huge book, measuring 40×28cm (approx. 11×16 inches), and it used not to fit on my scanner. Since then I got a new scanner, a larger one, and I can more easily publish the images. The pictures are out of copyright (published before 1923 in the US, and UK photographs taken before 1957)
