Description

Baconsthorpe Castle

A formal licence to crenellate Baconsthorpe was granted in 1561 to Sir Christopher Heydon who built the outer gatehouse. By this time the castle was the centrepiece of a vast estate earning huge venue from wool. The Eastern Range was modified for spinning and weaving of the Wool to produce cloth. However, with the bulk of their trade with the Netherlands, their income was severely hit by the Spanish Wars of 1588 to 1604. This perhaps prompted the involvement of Sir Christopher in the 1601 rebellion by Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex against Elizabeth I.
