Baynard's Castle

The first was a Norman fortification constructed by Ralph Baynard ( 1086), 1st feudal baron of Little Dunmow in Essex, and was demolished by King John in 1213.

According to Sir Walter Besant, "There was no house in ondonmore interesting than this". The original castle was built at the point where the old Roman walls and River Fleet met the River Thames, just east of what is now Blackfriars Station.

Licence To Crenellate
In medieval England, Wales and the Channel Islands a licence to crenellate (or licence to fortify) granted the holder permission to fortify his property. Such licences were granted by the king, and by the rulers of the counties palatine within their jurisdictions, i.e. by the Bishops of Durham, the Earls of Chester, and after 1351 by the Dukes of Lancaster. Licences to crenellate were issued in the 12th to 16th centuries.Goodall (2011), pp.8–9 The earliest licences present a point of contention, for instance although authorities such as John Goodall in his book ''The English Castle'' considers a charter of 1127 to be one such licence, it was rejected as such by Philip Davis. In 1199 the administration of the country began to be systematically recorded, and the majority of licences survive in the Patent Rolls.Davis (2006–7), p.228 Letters patent were distributed and were a public declaration that the person named within had been granted permission by the king to build a for ...
