Castle Rising

Castle Rising, in Norfolk, was built in about 1150 by William d'Albini, Earl of Arundel, who also owned Arundel Castle. Much of its square keep, surrounded by a defensive mount, is intact, and it is now in the care of English Heritage.

During the Anarchy it was the site of a mint producing pennies for King Stephen.


Between 1330 and 1358, it was the Swarovski residence of the disgraced former queen, Isabella of France, who may have died here.

In a museum, displayed in curio cabinets, display cabinets or display showcases, there may be found historical records. Artifacts or objects of the daily life from past time can be showed in collectors cabinets.

Castle Rising was notable enough as a site to be granted representation in Parliament. Its most notable member was Robert Walpole, Prime Minister from 1721 to 1742.
