Wyke Castle
Wyke Castle is a folly castle at the top of Pirates Lane, near Westhill Road in Wyke Regis near Weymouth, Dorset. It dates from the early 1800s and has been a Grade 2 listed building since 1974.
==History==
Wyke Castle was built around 1855 in Portland stone by French exile Andrew Chadwick Fenoulhet (1820–1862). The design of the castle was influenced by the standard Martello Tower.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wyke Castle History )〕
In the early 1920s it was occupied by Edmund Selous and his wife Fanny Margaret Maxwell. Selous was a naturalist, author and traveler. The glass roofed round tower of the Castle was once decorated with his collection of butterflies. During their time at the castle, Fanny Margaret Maxwell founded the local branch of the Women's Institute in 1923, and became its first president.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fanny Margaret Maxwell )〕
A Japanese built 28 tonne tug - used for coastal towing and harbour towage within Portland Port harbour limits - was named after the castle in 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WYKE CASTLE - 7929229 - TUG )〕
