Tricky to find but worth the trouble
Richards Castle的点评
点评：This romantic and overgrown ruin is in a beautiful spot with stunning views. Look out for the small signs for ‘historic church’ on the road, then climb steeply until you see St Bartholomew’s, the Castle can be found through the gate from the lower churchyard. There is a dirty info board which reads as follows:
**Before the Norman Conquest**
This ruined castle, thought to have been built in the 1050s, was named after Norman baron Richard le Scrope. He was one of a number of Normans granted land in the earldom of Hereford by Edward the Confessor.
Locals were not best pleased by the arrival of these Norman ‘foreigners’, but raids by the Welsh were increasing and it was vital to defend the border. The hill top castle gave commanding views of the main north-south routes and the road towards Worcestershire.
Little remains of the original castle, but it was probably a timber and earthwork structure that was subsequently rebuilt and modified in stone and mortar. You can still visualise the motte and bailey design from the ruins you see today. Look for the ruined stone keep on top of the tall motte, the adjacent bailey with remains of the stone curtain wall that once encircled it, and the deep outer moat.
**The Norman Borough**
A borough was created alongside the castle, including the magnificent church that remains today. In 1216 the borough was granted a charter for a weekly market and annual fair and continued to thrive for some years, with 103 burgesses in 1304.
It lost importance when it was bypassed by the transport routes that developed along the valley and Ludlow grew as a commercial centre.

翻译：这座浪漫而杂草丛生的废墟坐落在风景优美的地方，景色令人叹为观止。留意路上“历史教堂”的小标志，然后沿着陡峭的山路攀登，直到看到圣巴塞洛缪教堂。城堡位于教堂墓地下方，穿过大门即可到达。那里有一块脏兮兮的信息牌，上面写着：
**诺曼征服之前**
这座废墟城堡据信建于11世纪50年代，以诺曼男爵理查德·勒·斯克罗普的名字命名。他是忏悔者爱德华授予赫里福德伯爵领地的众多诺曼人之一。
当地人对这些诺曼“外国人”的到来并不高兴，但威尔士人的袭击日益增多，保卫边境至关重要。山顶的城堡可以俯瞰南北主要路线以及通往伍斯特郡的道路。
最初的城堡仅存少量遗迹，但它很可能是一座木结构和土方结构的建筑，后来重建并用石头和砂浆进行了改造。如今，您仍然可以从遗址中看到当时的城堡和外堡的设计。您可以寻找高耸的城堡顶部残存的石砌主楼、毗邻的外堡及其曾经环绕的石砌幕墙的遗迹，以及深邃的外护城河。
**诺曼自治市**
在城堡旁边建立了一个自治市，其中包括至今仍保留的宏伟教堂。1216年，该自治市获得了特许状，允许每周举办一次集市，每年举办一次集市，并持续繁荣了数年，到1304年，自治市的人数已达103人。
随着沿着山谷修建的交通路线绕过它，以及拉德洛发展成为商业中心，它的重要性逐渐丧失。
