Image description

Held in the Cotton Manuscripts collection, this coloured bird's eye view of “A Castle for the Downs” is most likely to be an early design for the castles of Walmer and Sandown. These were two of several castles built along the south coast of England to protect the Downs anchorage and also the Kent coast itself.
