About the work
Orford Castle, one of the most perfectly preserved castles in Britain, was begun in 1165 by Henry II in an effort to consolidate his control over East Anglia. Only the keep survives today. The castle has been a popular tourist attraction since the nineteenth century. Martin Hardie has included a few visitors standing at the entrance to the keep to give an idea of its imposing scale.
