The castle was founded soon after the Norman Conquest of 1066 by William de Warenne, the first Earl of Surrey, as his most important estate in Norfolk. The settlement is strategically placed where the ancient track way known as the Peddar’s Way crossed the River Nar. To the west of the castle was a planned town; the whole settlement was fortified.

I thought I recognised the place! I used to live about 15 miles from there. When you start scaling them out as you walk the ruins, you start to realise you need a BIG table, don't you?
Yeah, if I was ever to make it for a game I'd probably only do a section.
