Carew Castle - Pembrokeshire

HISTORY OF CAREW CASTLE

Gerald’s fortification was probably  built of earth and wooden stakes. This fortification was later replaced  by a stone Castle. Much of what remains of Carew Castle today was the  work of Sir Nicholas de Carew (who died in 1311), who was responsible in  particular for the east and west ranges.

In the late fifteenth century the Castle was greatly improved and  extended by a very colourful character, Sir Rhys ap Thomas (1449-1525).  He altered both the east and west ranges, and was responsible for many  of the Bath stone windows and other features. Gaining the implicit trust  of both Henry VII and Henry VIII, he was said ‘to rule this corner of  Wales like a King’.

The final development took Carew from Medieval fortress to  Elizabethan manor. Sir John Perrot (1530-1592) built the great northern  range, with its huge windows overlooking the Millpond. However, he was  not destined to enjoy his magnificent new home, for he died in the Tower  of London before the work could be completed.

GHOSTS OF CAREW CASTLE

There  are thought to be several ghosts haunting Carew; a Celtic warrior is  said to haunt the undercroft and the ghost of a kitchen boy may be  responsible for the clanking sounds of pots and pans heard coming from  the kitchen.

However,  the most intriguing and traceable ghosts are that of a ‘white lady’ who  has been witnessed drifting from room to room and that of a Barbary  ape.
