Thurland Castle is a country house in Lancashire, England which has been converted into apartments. Surrounded by a moat, and located in parkland, it was originally a defensive structure, one of a number of castles in the Lune Valley.
In 1402 Sir Thomas Tunstall (d. 05 Nov 1415), was licensed to crenellate the building. The castle passed through successive generations of the family and was eventually inherited by Tunstall's great-grandson, Sir Brian Tunstall, a knightly hero who died at the Battle of Flodden in 1513.
Sir Brian was a younger son of Thomas Tunstall III and the heir of his brother Thomas IV. Dubbed the "Stainless Knight" by the king, he was immortalized in the poem Marmion - A Tale of Flodden Field by Sir Walter Scott.
The building is constructed in sandstone rubble, with slate roofs. It consists mainly of two ranges on the north and west sides of a courtyard. Its architectural style is a mixture of Elizabethan Revival and Gothic Revival. It is approached by an arched bridge crossing the moat. Its windows are either mullioned or mullioned and transomed, and there are two towers, one of which has two storeys, the other three. Many of the parapets are embattled. Around the building are terraces with bastions.
Would be nice if people could stop being pedos on fedi. Imagine opening my notifications to that shit, even when people are saying the weirdest shit, in a cafe. I am not expecting that but I guess I should now.
