In the 12th century Goodrich Castle, was replaced with stone. This decreased the level of destruction during wars. As a development of Stone Keep castles, concentric castles were built from 1250 onwards. The concentric design was copied from the castles in the Middle East; knowledge and understanding of design and structure came into England through returning crusaders (soldiers) during the 1200’s.

Castles were extremely important during 1066 – 1500 and they changed overtime to get more protection.

Castles were constructed strategically as military structures to defend against attackers and enemies. They were built to maximize their defense features and limit any weaknesses that the enemy could capitalize on. Around the 10th century, Normans began to build motte and bailey castles to protect themselves from any Viking invasions or attacks which depended on the element of surprise. Motte and bailey castles got their name from their motte which is a mound of earth and their bailey, a flat enclosed area that is usually surrounded by a wooden fence.

Concentric castles were made of stone and built primarily for protection and defense. The building of these concentric designs began in the 1200s. The castles consisted of thick walls surrounding the main castle, usually one large wall surrounding a smaller one. The walls were designed to create obstacles for anyone trying to attack the castle. The hard, tall walls made it difficult for the attacker to get at the castle and made it easier for the defenders to fire at them from above. Its symmetrical shape also made it easier for lookout men to see across the surrounding countryside.
