Baron Brooke, Robert Greville, enhanced the defensive specifications in 1642 in preparation for potential attack during the First English Civil War.<br /> Walls were raised, artillery mounds created and cannons added.<br /> Attacks by the Royalists were feeble and failed miserably.<br /> Several times, Royalists were imprisoned in the dungeons.<br /> In the 18th. century even the great landscaper Lancelot “Capability” Brown was commissioned to give the castle a more natural, countrified appearance with trees, shrubs, lawns and sweeping, vegetated banks below the walls.<br /> In the 21st. century Warwick Castle has become a major tourist attraction.<br /> Visitors come from all over the world.<br /> Tens of thousands of students and schoolchildren visit every year as part of their education.<br /> It is now protected as a “scheduled monument” and is rightly a Grade 1 Listed Building.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bigashd/">BigAshD</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bigashd/55391839224/" title="Preparing to joust at Warwick Castle"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55391839224_c0aed86903_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Preparing to joust at Warwick Castle" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ell-r-brown/">ell brown</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ell-r-brown/55390193681/" title="Plot 9 - Hill Close Gardens, Warwick - Summerhouse"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55390193681_76a6f5e563_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Plot 9 - Hill Close Gardens, Warwick - Summerhouse" /></a></p> <p>A visit to <a href="https://hillclosegardens.com/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Hill Close Gardens</a> in Warwick.<br /> <br /> A Victorian era set of garden plots, each with brick summerhouses.<br /> <br /> <br /> Hill Close Gardens are a fascinating insight into a bygone era of genteel gardening.
