Treago Castle is a fortified manor house in the Parish of St Weonards, Herefordshire, England (). Built c.1500, it was recorded as a Grade I listed building on 30 April 1986—based on its extant medieval architecture, quadrangle courtyard layout and defensive wall corner towers. No sign remains of a believed original water-filled moat. ==Main building== The building was probably built by Sir Richard Mynors (c.1440–1528〔(【引用サイトリンク】Herefordshire Council">url=http://www.smr.herefordshire.gov.uk/hsmr/db.php?smr_no=6255 )〕 ), a tax collector in Wales. The name originates from "Tre" (homestead or farm) and "Ago" (' being the Welsh form of the name "James"), suggesting there was a previous dwelling on the land. The fortified house was built to keep the Welsh out, but was never under attack. Originally the building was of a secure design, featuring a central courtyard and no externally facing windows. Later, the courtyard area in the centre of the building was covered over in stages and new windows added to the outside walls, forming a more traditional house. Mason's marks matching those at Raglan Castle and traced to William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke were detected following a visit in 1975 by the Chief Inspector of Ancient Monuments, A. J. Taylor. There are similarities to Croft Castle, also in Herefordshire. Whilst Treago Castle remains a private family home, wine tasting sessions and local charity events do allow the public a limited opportunity to view inside the castle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Treago Castle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
