Yarmouth Castle
The last coastal
fort built by Henry VIII, Yarmouth Castle was built shortly 1547
after a French force had sailed into the Solent and landed on
the Isle of Wight, safe from the guns and forts on the mainland.
The local militia defeated the French, but a weakness in the
island’s defences had been revealed and a castle was then soon
constructed at Yarmouth. |
